Mhlathuze Water was established in 1980 to design and construct a major regional water treatment plant and an offshore wastewater disposal system to service the growing town of Richards Bay in the province of KwaZulu - Natal. As a service provider, the organisation has increased its service delivery to local and regional municipalities, assisting the water service authorities to provide potable water to urban and rural communities. The organisations area of supply now covers 37 000 square kilometres in northern KwaZulu-Natal with assets in the region of R452 million.

 

The flagship of the organisation is the Nsezi Water Treatment Plant situated on the banks of Lake Nsezi, located between Empangeni and Richards Bay. The installation was commissioned in 1984 and has been upgraded since then, to meet the growing demand for water. Very recently the budget was approved to commence further upgrading to this installation and at the weir to continue to meet the additional demands for water with the industrial grow in Richards Bay.
