A number of areas are without water due to the work that has been done to one of the water schemes that supply the Metro, the Sundays River Canal between Addo and Kirkwood.

The Metro has deployed 10 water trucks in the affected areas.

“The canal is going to be completed tomorrow, physical repair of the canal. The restoration of water is going to be gradual probably maximum of seven days, the water will be restored around the communities of Nelson Mandela Bay.”
