different, she has been battling to have the leaking water meter at her complex at the corner of Lente Road and Saffier Street, in Klopper Park, fixed since December 2012.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item

wasted,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Despite numerous calls to the metro and a visit to their office, Leyland said no metro technicians had been to inspect the meter.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe meter has not been read or even visited since it began leaking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is evident by the rubbish and debris around it,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>The GCN contacted the metro in an attempt to get comment on the matter, but, despite numerous attempts, no comment had been received at the time of
