‘Reinstated’ hole leaks water again in Craighall Park
Craighall Park residents still with the same seven year issue of the water leakage.
There is an ongoing water leak on the corner of Buckingham and Grosvenor avenues which has required two holes to be dug by Johannesburg Water.
Ward 90 councillor Martin Williams said the site was unsafe for pedestrians to walk by. He added, “Over the years, the holes have been filled for a short time and then dug up again because the repairs do not last.” He said there was water flowing from one of the holes again after it was reinstated a few weeks ago.
Craighall Park resident Philemon Moagi said residents were frustrated with the situation because the water leaks had been occurring for years. He confirmed that Williams had escalated the issue to Johannesburg Water many times.
Johannesburg Water was contacted for comment on June 27 and again on July 4 but there had been no response at the time of going to press.
