Water supply & purification in Richards Bay: local notes

Bulk water deliveries serve Esikhaleni, eNseleni and rural homesteads when reticulation fails, and port contractors order tankers for site camps. Refill shops in Empangeni and Meerensee supply 18.9 litre bottles. Reverse osmosis and carbon filters are popular where coastal groundwater tastes salty. Farms around Felixton and Mtunzini that depend on boreholes should order a lab test before choosing UV or filtration.

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.
