Significant progress is being made on the Lower uMkhomazi water scheme project, which aims to improve water supply for 50 000 households across the eThekwini and Ugu municipal districts, along KwaZulu-Natal’s South Coast. The R20-billion large-scale project, which was previously hindered by delays, has gained renewed momentum as a result of proactive involvement and determination by the Department of Water and Sanitation, Water and Sanitation Minister Pemmy Majodina said during a site inspection.
