The Gazette on July 30 reported that Johannesburg Water repairs and backfilling were completed on the Jan Smuts Avenue excavation; however, there was still a persistent leak at the site.
The water utility spokesperson, Nombuso Shabalala, on August 5, confirmed that necessary assessments were conducted.
“The team found that the water is coming from the McDonald’s up the road along Jan Smuts. The water is coming from sleeve pipes, which are used to cover other services such as fibre, so Johannesburg Water’s Unaccounted for Water (UFW) team is trying to detect the exact spot or location of the leak along the pipeline on Jan Smuts Avenue.”
