WATER SUPPLY UPDATE

04 May 2026

Following the power outages experienced at Loerie, recovery has started in the KwaNobuhle area. Two of the three reservoirs have already received water and are recovering well.

The high-lying areas supplied by the remaining reservoir are still experiencing challenges, and we will assess the need to provide water tanks in those areas if required.

The Chatty area was also affected, as we had to redirect additional water from Nooitgedagt to support the Chelsea supply zone. The western areas have since recovered, and the Chelsea zone has also stabilized.

However, challenges remain in the Tyreville, Vanes Estate area, and surrounding areas previously identified. We have implemented operational adjustments, which have yielded positive results. However, ongoing backwashing and desludging activities at the Coega Kop Water Treatment Works continue to impact the speed of recovery.

We are also progressively increasing the amount of water supplied from Nooitgedagt until levels improve. At the same time, we are being cautious not to increase production too aggressively, as maintaining good water quality remains a priority.

In summary, recovery is underway across most affected areas, with only a few localized challenges remaining. We continue to monitor the system closely and implement measures to improve supply while ensuring water quality standards are maintained.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused.
