Police dismiss claims of a bomb at Durban reservoir
Police have dismissed allegations that the water reservoir in the Montclair policing area just outside the city of Durban was bombed.
On Saturday morning, the walls of a water reservoir in Alamein Avenue in Montclair gave way causing the water to gush out and severely affecting a private company near the reservoir.
National Police spokesperson, Vishnu Naidoo says residents heard a loud bang and believed it might have been a bomb.
However, Naidoo says those claims are false and police have conducted their investigations.
"According to our forensic investigations, the reservoir walls were damaged because of the weakening of the structure following recent heavy rainfall in the Durban and surrounding areas," says Naidoo.
No injuries or death were reported.
