As previously reported, due to the current strike actions going on throughout the Metro very few of the faults reported to the metro are being attended to.
As a result of the abovementioned strike actions in the metro, the following streets in Westering/Linton Grange in Ward 9 have been experiencing water disruptions since Wednesday, 28 August 2013 due to water pipe bursts:
- Carpenter Street
- Bramlin Street
- Bramhope Street
- Van Wyk Street
- Taybank Street
- Delphinium Street
- Discovery Street
Kindly take note that the staff who are not on strike are also being intimidated by the striking members. A further frustration is the fact that no contracts have been renewed to hire contractors/equipment to fix these burst pipes and damaged roads (being caused by the burst pipes).
I am aware that there is currently a team working on these burst pipes, but as there are a huge number of bursts, the process is extremely slow and time consuming.
I have reported the abovementioned problems to the Metro (including the City Manager) as I feel it is inhumane for anybody to be without water for any length of time.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
