📢 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. This includes ALL sectors within the Chatsworth System (Units 1 to 11 inclusive), Central & Inner West Cores, Pinetown South, the Intake Interior, the entire Umlazi Metro Complex (all sections A to Z and AA to CC), and all Southern Water Grid Extensions. ⏳ TIME OF RESTORATION (ETA): Water supply is returning progressively. There is no single blanket time for all properties. Due to the massive scale of the network, water will return at different times depending entirely on your local neighborhood reservoir levels, current system pressure build-up, and localized consumer demand patterns as lines fill. 🛑 MANDATORY PROPERTY SAFEGUARD & DIRECTIVE: If your property's main boundary stop-cocks or isolation valves are currently turned off, please crack them open very SLOWLY. Air pockets trapped inside dry distribution pipes can cause violent pressure surges (water hammer). Opening your taps and valves slowly prevents damage to your indoor geysers, flexible plastic pipes, and household appliances. ⚠️ WATER QUALITY NOTICE: As water first enters dry home plumbing, it may temporarily appear discoloured or milky due to trapped air and sediment. Run your primary cold water tap steadily for 1 to 2 minutes until it flows completely clear. 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

⚠️ CRITICAL HEALTH & SAFETY ALERT: WATER RESTORATION RISKS (ALL AREAS) ⚠️ This is an urgent public safety notice for EVERY SINGLE COMMUNITY, SUBURB, AND DISTRICT across the entire network. As water pressure is restored after this prolonged outage, severe plumbing, electrical, and water quality issues can cause immediate damage to your health and home systems. Please implement these protective steps immediately. 🤢 1. HEALTH RISK: CONTAMINATED WATER The first flush of water entering dry pipes dislodges brown sediment, rust, mud, and stagnant bacterial biofilm from the pipe walls. Drinking this water or using it for cooking can cause severe gastrointestinal illness and stomach bugs. 🛠️ MANDATORY SAFETY ACTIONS: • DO NOT drink the water, brush your teeth, or wash dishes while it is discoloured. • Run your outside garden tap for 2 to 3 minutes until the water flows completely clear. • As a safety precaution, BOIL all drinking and cooking water for at least 1 full minute during the first 24 hours of restoration. 💥 2. PLUMBING RISK: AIR LOCKS & PIPE BURSTS Dry distribution lines trap massive pockets of highly compressed air. When high-pressure water rushes back in, it slams these air pockets through your home plumbing. This pressure shock (known as water hammer) can violently burst indoor geysers, crack plastic pipes inside walls, and shatter toilet valves. 🛠️ MANDATORY SAFETY ACTIONS: • Keep your main property boundary stop-cock closed, or open it very SLOWLY and halfway at first to let air hiss out gently. • Do not open indoor taps fully until the air has safely bled out of the system. • Check your water meter immediately after restoration; if the dial is spinning fast while all your taps are closed, you have a hidden pipe burst. 🔥 3. ELECTRICAL RISK: GEYSER ELEMENT BURNOUT If your geyser tank drained or filled with air pockets during the water crisis, turning on the power will instantly burn out the heating element. In severe cases, an air-locked geyser can overheat and crack, causing massive ceiling flooding. 🛠️ MANDATORY SAFETY ACTIONS: • Immediately turn OFF th
