Last week Platinum Gazette carried an article about a fresh water pipe burst in Swart Street Ohrigstad on the front page. The leak resulted inter alia (on the face of it) water cuts to some
residents and exorbitant water use accounts.
Mr Willy Mosoma, spokesperson of Sekhukhune District Municipality reacted to the article this week, saying: “We are aware of the problem of water loss at Ohrigstad. Our team was
dispatched there to ascertain to exact cause of the leak and come with a solution.
The results of the investigation revealed a pipe leak which is beyond the responsibility of the owner. Therefore, Lepelle Northern Water committed to take financial responsibility of the
water loss while the owner will only be billed as per the normal consumption, meaning what the owner use to pay monthly.
Our team will work henceforth to repair the existing damage and restoring the old meter in a way that it complies with the current standards.”
We telephoned one of the residents in the street early on Thursday morning on 28 February. Apparently the ‘team’ has not started working as the water meter was still closed and the
water still flowing from the hole in the road down the street. Just before going to press he phoned back “the team is here, they started working on the leak” he proclaimed the reason for
some optimism on the matter. While at it, we also requested (for a fourth time) comment from the district municipality about various water issues in Burgersfort. No response ...

the words of Executive Mayor Cllr Kea-

met with the Fetakgomo Tubatse commu-
