April 2022 Floods – A year later
The month of April will forever be etched on the minds and hearts of many people in KwaZulu-Natal, especially eThekwini residents. A year later, we remember all those who perished in the devastating floods, lost homes and livelihoods.
THE MUNICIPALITY has made significant progress to restore sewer pipes in areas where sanitation infrastructure was severely damaged during the April 2022 floods. Major repairs to wastewater pumpstations that were impacting the beaches were completed in December last year. However, some of the pump stations have since had new faults. The causes of these new faults include mechanical failure and vandalism. Repairs on five affected coastal wastewater pumpstations are currently being completed.
The Municipality is also prioritising routine maintenance and refurbishment of all wastewater pumpstations.
Repairs to the affected Wastewater Treatment Works is underway and many of the treatment works are back online, though some are not operating at 100 percent capacity.

Quick Durban KwaZulu-Natal Fact: We like to laugh – Comedy shows have always done well on our Durban shores and no one laughs harder at our curious habits and strange accents than ourselves. However, be warned: while we like laughing at ourselves we don’t take kindly to people who pick on our cultures, customs or accents. It might sound odd, but we like adding an occasional “but” to the end of a sentence. To you it might sound incorrect, to us it sounds right, but.
