The taps at Tryphina Mokoena\u2019s Rondebult home were left dry for several days after the metro failed to repair a leak reported to them.<\/p>\n

Mokoena had to ask her neighbours for buckets of water, while the metro could not give her a turnaround time for repairs.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The GCN sent a query to the metro to find out why it had taken so long to repair the leak, and when it would be repaired.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe metro acknowledges receiving the complaint of a water leak in Rondebult.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cA maintenance team was dispatched to attend to the meter leak and the plumber who dealt with the complaints advised the metro that the meter leak was fixed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe, therefore, confirm that the meter leak complaint was resolved,\u201d said Themba Gadebe, spokesman for the metro.<\/p>\n

No reason was given as to why the metro took so long to respond to the complaint.<\/p>\n
