What to know locally in Durban

Bulk tankers serve Umlazi, Inanda and KwaMashu during mains outages, and many businesses in Jacobs, Mobeni and Prospecton keep standby tanks. Bottled and 18.9 litre refill delivery runs through the week to the Berea and the north coast. Under-counter filters and reverse osmosis units are common in Kloof, Hillcrest and Glenwood where owners dislike chlorine taste. Industrial users near Isipingo and Clairwood ask about purification for process water.

Drinking water in Durban

Most of Durban's tap water comes through Umgeni-uThukela Water, which treats raw water from the Umgeni and uMlazi catchments, with Midmar, Albert Falls, Nagle and Inanda dams feeding the system. eThekwini then distributes it, and the network is old in places. Pipe bursts, reservoir maintenance and storm damage to mains have left parts of Umlazi, Inanda and the south basin dry for days at a time. The humid coastal summer keeps people drinking all day, so offices on the Berea ridge, hotels along the beachfront and the warehouses of Prospecton and Springfield Park lean on cooled bottled water. Many homes keep a plastic tank on the roof as a buffer.
