Drinking water in Richards Bay

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.
