It took the metro a week to attend to a burst geyser at Cora Erasmus Old Age Home, in Primrose, recently.<\/p>\n

The geyser burst on a Monday and despite numerous calls, the metro only attended to the issue the following Monday.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cI called the call taking centre the morning the geyser burst and I was told that someone would attend to it,\u201d said Essie van Jaarsveldt.<\/p>\n

\u201cI waited and waited but nobody came.\u201d<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Van Jaarsveldt\u2019s house was flooding while she was waiting for assistance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the help of my neighbours I had to move some of the furniture from the house to save it from being damaged because the house was flooding,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also had to sweep the water out during the hours I was waiting for help.\u201d<\/p>\n
