Who is fooling who over the regular Plantation water leaks?
The Ekurhuleni Metro claims that it was not aware of the damaged main water pipeline, which recently resulted in major water losses in Plantation.
According to one of the concerned residents, Sebastian Smith, he sent an email to a local municipal official immediately after noticing that the underground pipeline, on the corner of Cedar Avenue and Elm Street, was leaking, but nothing was done.
The pipeline continued to send kilolitres of safe drinking water down the road, for more than a week.
It was only after the Advertiser intervened that the metro sent its crew to stop the water wastage in the area.
Despite the email thread which shows a conversation between Smith and a municipal official about the damaged pipeline, the metro wants the people of Boksburg to buy into a statement they issued to this publication, on November 2 , saying “the City of Ekurhuleni was not aware of the water leak in Cedar Avenue. However, a team of technicians have attended to it.” -@FanieFLK
