Chunks of algae, have clogged up the Inanda Dam, hampering water supply.
This has affected volumes of treated water at the Durban Heights Water Treatment Works.
As a result, uMngeni-uThukela Water Board, announced in a statement on Wednesday, that parts of the north and south of eThekwini have interrupted supply.
The Water Board said it is currently treating reduced volumes of water to users.
“Due to larger than normal volumes of algae in water received from the Inanda Dam, the Durban Heights Water Treatment is currently unable to treat the full amounts of raw water it normally supplies.
uMngeni-uThukela Water is currently working on treating the excess algae and also fixing the clogged filters.”
This work is expected to last until Friday this week.
