Drinking water in Ladysmith
Ladysmith's water comes from the Klip River and the upper Tugela system, under Alfred Duma Municipality in the uThukela District. Summers are hot, winters are frosty, and the area has faced pump failures, old pipes and shortages, particularly in Ezakheni, Steadville and parts of the older town. Many homes and small businesses keep tanks, and bottled water is common in clinics, schools and the offices around the town hall. The N3 and the nearby industrial estates at Ezakheni bring truck stops, clothing factories and warehouses, all with staff who need drinking water through long shifts. Farmers around Colenso and Elandslaagte often rely on boreholes.
