Sewage leaks in Germiston are becoming an increasing problem.<\/p>\n

Examples of this are the recent leaks in President<\/a> and Church streets<\/a>, in the Germiston CBD.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The GCN also recently received a complaint about the raw sewage leak at the corner of Beaconsfield Avenue and Petunia Road, in Primrose.<\/p>\n

The complainant, who does not wish to be named, said she was unable to report the matter to the metro, as the call taking centre\u2019s numbers were engaged.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

She was concerned that nothing had been done, despite the leak being visible for more than a week.<\/p>\n

The GCN sent a query to the metro, to establish the cause of the leak and the estimated turn-around time for repair.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis sewer blockage was a result of a broken sewer pipe that obstructed the flow in the line,\u201d said metro spokesman Themba Gadebe.<\/p>\n

\u201cWork on site has commenced and we will advise when the repairs are finalised.\u201d<\/p>\n
