Richards Bay notes on dispensers & coolers
Industrial sites in Alton and the Richards Bay IDZ order floor-standing and plumbed-in dispensers for shift canteens and control rooms. Offices in Meerensee, Arboretum and Empangeni central buy bottom-loading coolers. Guesthouses and lodges around Mtunzini and Port Durnford prefer countertop hot and cold units. Salt air can attack fittings near Richards Bay harbour, so ask about stainless steel taps and sealed electronics.
Drinking water in Richards Bay
Richards Bay and Empangeni draw on a mix of sources, including Lake Mzingazi, the Mhlathuze River and the Goedertrouw Dam, under the uMhlathuze Municipality. Coastal sand and warm, humid weather make for a very different water supply than the dry Midlands, and the area has seen planned shutdowns and aged-pipe breaks in places such as Esikhaleni, eNseleni and parts of Empangeni. The harbour, the Industrial Development Zone and the smelters at Alton create thousands of shift workers who need drinking water on site. Lodges around Mtunzini and the Zululand coast also rely on dispensers.
