It is that time of the year when the city unveils its Festive Season Management Plan to demonstrate our state of readiness to host thousands of holidaymakers.
This festive season is particularly special for us as it comes at a time when the city is experiencing significant improvements in water and sanitation services. For the first time in five years, all our bulk water reservoirs are stable with Durban Heights, Wiggins and Midmar treatment works operating at full capacity. This means that communities in the north, south and central regions will enjoy uninterrupted water supply during this period and beyond.
Even township and rural communities in the north of Durban have received an early Christmas gift as they will now enjoy reliable water supply following the recommissioning of the Ntuzuma water pump station, which was destroyed by fire in 2023.
