A huge water leak occurred on Tuesday November 1 on Cambridge Street, Farrarmere.
The road looked more like a river.
The phone at the call centre was answered quickly and within an hour the call had been responded to; and the water switched off.
That evening the workers were there past 10pm and were back the next morning at 7.15am.
Our water was restored around 7pm, but the guys still carried on working through the rain and thunderstorm until around 10pm the second night.
They said they would be back in two days to check – and they were, so now we are just waiting for the huge hole on the pavement to be filled.
However, there were inconsiderate road users during the time the road was flooded.
They sped along splashing the CMS guys, workers and thrifty residents who were collecting the leaking water in buckets with absolutely no regard – and some were on their cellphones – a big thumbs down to you!
