ReporterThe City of Tshwane discovered an illegal conduit of water to the nearby Baviaanspoort informal settlement.The City of Tshwane has removed illegal water connections at the Mamelodi Reservoir 4, which was causing outages in Mamelodi East.
The intervention came after complaints by residents of Mamelodi Extensions 4 and 5, Mahube Valley and Ikageng, who had been experiencing prolonged water outages. “It was through this check-up that a ground-bound pipeline that served as an illegal conduit of water to the nearby Baviaanspoort informal settlement was discovered,” he said.
To prevent a reoccurrence, “The pipeline was cut up, rendering it unusable. The city has also ensured the closure of window frames with steel slates to make it difficult to break into the reservoir chamber where the illegal connection was made.”
