The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality would like to advise the residents and businesses that there has been an unforeseen delay in the repair of the water pipeline to Uitenhage. At this stage, it is difficult to predict when water will be restored. Water tankers will continue to be deployed in affected areas.
Affected areas include:

The pipeline has been shut down and repair work is continuing.
At this stage water tankers have been deployed at the following locations:
Residents are urged to use water sparingly.
