No clear reason for Halfway House trench
While there is no clear cause for the trench in Halfway House, JW’s communication department has promised to provide response into the delays over fixing the alleged leak and reinstating the trench.
A trench in Halfway House is an eyesore after Johannesburg Water (JW) allegedly left it opened.
This is after they allegedly attempted to fix what appears to be a water leak on the corner of Richards Drive and Suttie Avenue. It is unclear if the leak was fixed, as there is now water inside the trench – mixed with litter – potentially posing a health hazard.

Midrand Reporter first took note of the trench in late April, early May, and attempted to get comment from a company next to it. Unfortunately, this proved fruitless. We noted the trench was still there recently, and contacted JW’s communications team on July 1 regarding whether the leak had actually been repaired, and the delays over the trench’s backfill and reinstatement.
“JW will provide a response within our standard turnaround time of 48 hours, depending on the complexity of the matter and the input required from relevant technical departments,” said JW’s communications department.
