The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality says repairs to the water system carried out by the National Department of Water and Sanitation have been successfully completed.
Metro spokesperson, Roland Williams, says water has now been released into the canal that feeds the Scheepervlakte Dam from where the municipality draws its water.
He says it is expected that the system will be up to maximum capacity by this evening.
Williams says the water might be discoloured at the moment due to residue from the reservoirs, but it is safe to drink.
He's also urged consumers to still use water sparingly.
