Blocked drain leaves yard flooded

A Reiger Park resident was shocked to find his yard overflowing with water due to a blocked drain on November 11.

Alexander Van Staade reported the incident to the metro, but they could only fixed it on Friday, three days later.

“I am happy that they came to fix the drain, but usually they take a day to respond to such matters. They only responded as soon as the DA Ward 92 Clr Ashley Rutherford sent a complaint to the Water Department.”

Metro spokesperson, Themba Gadebe, says in such cases, the metro responds within 48 hours, but sometimes it depends on the problem. – @NalediBoksburg
