A BROKEN water meter on the corner of Saron and Meerlust roads in Mulbarton has been broken for over a year and residents in the area said the amount of water which has just run away is unacceptable.
Last year the CHRONICLE did an article on the same water meter when ward 23 Councillor, Sarah Wissler went to have a look at the problem. It seemed the taxi drivers who use the informal taxi rank across the road from the meter had been tampering with it so they could have access to clean drinking water.
Clr Wissler was trying to get the problem sorted out last year but the residents said it’s never been fixed. “With drought conditions expected again this year, this is absolutely disgusting. Such a waste of good clean water!”
The CHRONICLE has contacted Clr Wissler for comment.
