Water supply & purification in KwaZulu-Natal: local notes

Bulk tanker water is vital after floods or main failures, supplying hospitals, building sites in Umhlanga and rural homesteads in the Valley of a Thousand Hills. Bottled water delivery and refill shops serve townships such as KwaMashu, Umlazi and Inanda. Borehole and tank owners in Zululand and the South Coast often add filtration and UV to deal with turbidity after heavy rain.

Drinking water in KwaZulu-Natal

KwaZulu-Natal is a province of heavy rain and uneven supply. eThekwini and Msunduzi take water from Umgeni-uThukela Water's system of dams along the Umgeni, including Midmar and Albert Falls, and the treated water is generally soft. Even so, burst mains, floods, pump station breakdowns and reservoir shutdowns leave parts of Durban, Pietermaritzburg and the North Coast without water for days. Humid summers make cold water a daily need. Hotels on the coast, factories in Pinetown, sugar mills, schools and clinics in rural areas and inland towns such as Newcastle all use dispensers.
