A team from Johannesburg Water is currently attending to a pipe burst in Buccleuch on the corner Gibson Drive West and Fife Street.
It was reported by a number of residents on social media that an initial burst occurred late yesterday morning (22 February) at 10.30am and was repaired by the city entity later that afternoon at 5.30pm.
The burst then reoccurred at about 10.30pm last night where it was reported to Johannesburg Water.

As a result of the burst pipe, residents along Gibson Drive West and Fife Street have been left without water for a second consecutive day.
