2. Residents furious over reservoir leak: https://bit.ly/1NrMDlQ
Many Germiston residents have felt the effects of the ongoing drought which, being felt nationally, has brought water shortages, water restrictions and even outages. As the metro continues to implement water restrictions in Germiston and urges residents to report leaks so they can be repaired, Primrose Hill residents want the leak at the Signal Hill reservoir repaired.
