The second phase of repairing the Sundays River Canal, started on Monday, the 29th July 2024.
The repair has interrupted water supply to Motherwell, Wells Estate, Ikamvelihle, and other areas in the North of Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth).
Sithembiso Soyaya, Spokesperson of the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality (NMBM), said a number of water tankers were mobilized to supply affected areas.
He said once completed, the repair work will improve the efficiency of water distribution to the Nooitgedacht Water Treatment Works.
