Residents in Mhluzi Extension 4,5,6,7,8, Tokologo, Gholfsig and some parts of Aerorand have been experiencing water supply interruptions due to a bulk water supply pipeline failure during the weekend.<\/p>\n
The water supply interruptions have now spread to other parts of Mhluzi.<\/p>\n
The municipality said the water levels at the Graspan Reservoir, which supplies water to Extension 4,5,6,7,8, parts of Gholfsig and some parts of Aerorand, was standing at 20% this morning.<\/p>\n
Residents will only receive water when the reservoir level is at 55%.<\/p>\n
