There have been more than 100 water pipe bursts in the Fourways area of Johannesburg since June, leaving many affected residents fuming

No water in Douglasdale for the 7th morning in a ROW. Water comes back late at night, then is gone by the time we wake up. What is going on?“I keep track of the bursts and work closely with the community and help them report them. We all have a group where we share pictures and short clips of the bursts. We’ve had more than 100 since June 1,” he said. “We’ve had two mishaps but Joburg Water has been absolutely incredible.

“We have repaired some roads ... The problem is that Covid-19 is slowing down the response. Another major inconvenience is the reinstatement of pavements,” said Van der Merwe. I tell you, it is RIDICULOUS!!!! Having a proper shower in the morning has become a luxury that never comes in this
