It has come to the News’ attention that a water tower supplying drinking water to the West Village area has been experiencing frequent leakages. On closer inspection it seems that the water tank was overflowing.
Watch here:
On 3 March John Barnardt, a member of the West Village community, took the video to show how litres of water spill from the water tower, and create quite a large pool of water in the road.

The Mogale City Local Municipality’s (MCLM) media department was contacted after hours on 3 March, and again the next morning, and responded initially by noting that they would contact the relevant departments to get more information on the matter.
On the afternoon of 5 March, the MCLM confirmed that about two weeks before a similar problem with the tank had been reported to them and was fixed, and that they had already sent out a team to check on the water tower that morning (5 March).
The problem should be tended to soon.
