They experience water shedding at least three times a week.
Mark Timm says he is curious as to the reason why these two suburbs have water cuts three times a week, yet their neighbouring suburbs never experience it.
The water is allegedly switched off daily from 9pm and switched back on at 6am.
Casseldale resident Marietjie du Plessis says it is strange that the water is never cut according to the water shedding schedule times.
According to the Ekurhuleni Metro’s water shedding schedule, water rationing measures take place from 9pm to 5am every night.
However, du Plessis says at times the water is switched off long before 9pm and only returns at 7am or 8am.
She feels it is unfair to the residents that only one part of Springs experiences water cuts.
To make sure they have water during these water sheddings, the family fills containers with water to help them to flush the toilet, boil the kettle and to be able to wash the next morning before going to work.

Du Plessis says at 7am last Thursday they still had no water and she phoned the Metro’s Water and Sanitation Department to find out what the problem was.
She was allegedly told, “there must be a water leak somewhere”.
“I don’t know if we have water leaks in Casseldale three times a week when we don’t have water,” she says.

The Addie’s Facebook page was abuzz with residents comments on the water shedding in the area:
Priscilla Prinsloo: “Can somebody please find out why Casseldale and Strubenvale is the only suckers that gets water shedding?”
Patti McCarogher: Water shedding! Casseldale has water turned off either every Wednesday or Friday nights, and then every Sunday night.
“What other areas in Springs are experiencing water shedding?”
Wesley Mollison: “Who is the culprit at the Springs municipality who switches the water off in Casseldale every second day?”
