Rita Fleming-Venter from Estra is tired of what she described as a major water leak in Baker Road.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe meter has been leaking for six weeks, but nobody seems to care,\u201d she said when she first reported the matter to the GCN in July.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

She later explained that the meter had been repaired and the leak stopped but only a few days later the leak was back.<\/p>\n

Despite numerous calls to the metro to report that the meter was once again leaking nothing was done.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe leak wasn\u2019t properly fixed from the very beginning,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The GCN contacted the metro to find out why the leak had not been properly repaired and when a team would be sent out to repair the leak.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two provided reference numbers are linked to two different properties adjacent to one another,\u201d explained spokesman for the metro, Themba Gadebe.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn inspection will be done to confirm which meter is leaking and a team will be sent out to carry out the repairs by Friday, August 26.\u201d<\/p>\n
