Umgeni Water in KwaZulu-Natal has assured residents that the water supplied to Durban and surrounding areas is safe to drink.
JOHANNESBURG - Umgeni Water in KwaZulu-Natal has assured residents on Monday that the water supplied to Durban and surrounding areas is safe to drink.
This comes after grief-stricken communities in the province complained about the quality of water in some areas. Umgeni Water spokesperson Shami Harichunder: “The Umgeni Water would like to state that the messages doing the rounds on social media are fabricated and grossly incorrect. The water that comes out of Durban is of a high standard. Consumers are urged to disregard those messages and should not have any concerns about the quality of water.”
