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.
Typical bulk water delivery requests in the area come from:
- Factories, mines and building sites: water for site ablutions, dust suppression and mixing on building sites and mines
- Lodges, hotels, restaurants and events: refilling lodge and guesthouse tanks before a full booking weekend or a conference
- Offices and business parks: topping up the building tank so toilets, kitchens and dispensers keep working during an outage
