MUNICIPALITY ISSUES APOLOGY AND UPDATE REGARDING WATER SUPPLY REDUCTIONS IN DUNDEE AND GLENCOE

DUNDEE / GLENCOE — The Municipality sincerely apologizes to the residents of Dundee and Glencoe for the current reduction in water supply by Uthukela Water.

Uthukela Water has significantly reduced the volume of water supplied from the Thukela source, impacting the entire municipal distribution network. While the situation is affecting all areas, the shortages are being felt most severely in high-lying and furthest regions, specifically including Marikana, Madoshini, Matshotshombeni, Sithembile, Lindelani, and Sibongile.

Municipal management is treating this matter with the utmost urgency. Intensive, high-level discussions are currently underway with Uthukela Water management to identify the root cause, expedite corrective actions, and restore water supply to normal levels as quickly as possible.

To manage the constrained water resources equitably while the issue is being resolved, the municipality has had to implement strict water-shedding measures. We recognize the immense frustration and inconvenience this causes in daily life, and we deeply appreciate the community’s resilience during this challenging time.

We ask for the community’s continued patience and cooperation as we work closely with our bulk water provider toward our ultimate goal: securing a stable, reliable, and satisfactory water supply for every household in the region.

Residents are urged to use water sparingly, prioritize essential use only, and stay tuned to official municipal communication channels for further updates.
