Water cuts have dampened the spirit of residents.
Homeowners in Gandhi Park complained of a series of supply issues, without any notice from the municipality.
“The severity of the problem is such of inconvenience, where the water is suddenly shut off without any warning,” said an anonymous resident.
He explained the situation had worsened since the storm water drainage project which ruined Ferret Street last year.
However, he said the contractor was not to blame.

Since the dawn of the new year, the resident said water cuts were experienced in the area at least bi-weekly.
“On January 27, there was no water the entire day. I planned a prayer function for this day and was very much inconvenienced.”
Municipal Manager, Errol Mswane responded by stating the municipality was struggling with ageing infrastructure.
