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 UV water purification requests in the area come from:
- Factories, mines and building sites: UV on process or canteen water after sediment filtration, sized to the line flow
- Lodges, hotels, restaurants and events: UV treatment for a lodge or guesthouse drawing from a borehole, dam or rain tanks
- Offices and business parks: UV on the incoming line of a rural office or workshop with a tank or borehole supply
