The Chief Albert Luthuli Municipality said it has found a way to abstract water from the Boesmanspruit Dam, despite its critically low level.
Ephraim Thabethe, Municipal Manager, said as a result, households in the lower lying areas, have started receiving water and those in the high laying areas, will receive water this afternoon.
He said in addition, the municipality has deployed water tankers in different wards.
Affected water users are in Carolina and Silobela (ward 15,21& 22).
Yesterday, the Municipality said other affected areas are in Industrial Park, Onbekend and Caro Park.
