FAILURE/LACK OF BASIC MUNICIPAL SERVICES

<p>As a resident of worcester west it has become a norm that we experience burst waterpipe from municipal supply. The area liesbeeck and orange rd is acustom to this happening. We had one about 4-8 weeks ago and was left without water supply for two days. When your report the matter to the call centre, you get advised that, itis 5 o clock and the standby will close the stopcork and repairs will be done tomorow from 09h00 and the phone gets dropped.  </p> <p>Is this why we pay our municipal accounts every month just to acccept this level of service. I dont think so. If the municipality dont have stndby crew, get a private contractor that is prepare to work whenever needed to ensure that paying residents gets the basic service that they are entitled too.</p> <p> </p> <p>Why does things first require drastic measures or action before it is resolved.  Have just sopken to the standby guy and ask when can we expect running water "More oggend" with that i dont care attitude.</p> <p> </p> <p>Great thumbs up </p>
