Consolidated Auction Group, a company situated in President Street, in the Germiston CBD, bore witness to a disturbing sight as sewage flowed down the street in front of its premises.<\/p>\n

A staff member from the company explained that the sewage had been running down the street since July 2.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

It was believed that the leak had started when workers in the area struck a pipe.<\/p>\n

The GCN was on the scene last Friday, and witnessed sewage overflowing from a manhole in Exodus Street, and running down into President Street.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

In response to a query from the GCN, Themba Gadebe, spokesman for the metro, explained that the leak was caused when a sewer overflowed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe matter was attended to on Monday, July 6, and the maintenance team has found debris in the line, hence the line could not flow.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe metro plans to communicate such matters to members of the public during awareness campaigns, in an effort to reduce the frequency of this type of occurrence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
