📢 OFFICIAL STATUS UPDATE: SOUTHERN AQUEDUCT REGIONAL WATER RESTORATION 📢 ⚠️ LIVE NETWORK BROADCAST: SYSTEM RECHARGING The eThekwini Municipality, along with regional media channels, has confirmed that emergency structural repairs on the bulk pipeline at Work Package 6 in Westville are complete. Engineering teams have successfully opened the main valves, and water is now actively being restored and pumped through the entire Southern Aqueduct network. 📍 ALL SECTORS INCLUDED IN SYSTEM RESTORATION: This system-wide recharge applies to every single suburb, housing estate, and informal community connected to the bulk matrix.

Avoid running hot water taps or geyser lines until the water runs clear from your mains. 📲 ESP USER TRACKING: Please update your live status on the ESP App "Water" dashboard by logging a "Water On" signal once stable pressu
