Water runs on the street
BRYANBRINK – Joburg Water takes 24 hours to respond to a burst water pipe.
Joburg Water responded to a burst pipe on Vine Avenue in Bryanbrink, after a day of it gushing water.
Residents on Fleet Street which turns into Vine Avenue, witnessed water streaming down the avenue from the morning of 17 August until the morning of 18 August. Ward 104 councillor Mike Wood said, “It was reported… and now Joburg Water have come to investigate the problem.”
