The constant flow of water down the road for three weeks prompted resident Philemon Moagi to report it to Joburg Water (JW) on June 8. He said JW visited the site and was told the problem was on upper Jan Smuts in Hyde Park with the water flowing down towards Montrose.

He said ward councillor Martin Williams was doing his best to get the issue resolved.
