In the past year alone there have been more than 50 individual cases of pipes being burst meaning no water to our home, that is nearly 1/4 of the year. I appreciate it is a tough fix but replacing sections of 3 - 10m of asbestos pipe with plastic only compounds the issue, not to mention throws money away. Additionally the fact that the main line was replaced, the roads dug up, the pipes installed only for it all to go back to the old system a few days later because the pipes installed were too small and the reason given was that the wrong pipes were delivered. That is ridiculous, why did no one notice. Another waste of time and money. All we ask is for what we pay for through rates and taxes. It is time for this to be permanently corrected.Stuart Fairbairns (Hoedspruit, 2021-08-18)

We are suffering as a community with the lack of water supply. Every week there is a problem either a burst pipe, or the reservoir is empty. Just last week we had water for only 2 days of a 7 day week. It's time these problems get resolved once and for all.Cherilynn Janse van Rensburg (Hoedspruit, 2021-08-18)

Sick and tired of having no water and not be able to clean washing and self properly in the midst of a pandemic where everyone is screaming about sanitising! Every other day we do not have water and it is becoming a regular thing now. As a buisiness owner where we receive the public on our premises it is important to keep the place clean. How do you do that if there is no water! We buy water to clean - but then we WANT our wayer in the pipes to be free water. Why do we have to pay double? After they so called fixed a pipe the water is always murky and you cant wash your whites! Kindly give the contract to repair the pipes or replace the whole old pipeline to a capable person or company....Water is the MOST BASIC RIGHT OR NOT?Bets Braun (Hoedspruit, 2021-08-18)

We live in an arid country and we need to conserve water, wherever we can. The recurring problem of water supply pipes bursting and wasting litres and litres of this precious resource is unacceptable. This is also a major inconvenience to residents and to businesses who rely on a steady supply of water. This issue has been a problem for several years now and has to be addressed immediately.Linda Poultney (Hoedspruit, 2021-08-18)

Our infrastructure needs to be upgraded and our water supply system is constantly needing repair. Water is a precious commodity, becoming shorter in supply. We HAVE to stop the waste every time a pipe bursts. Our water infrastructure needs a complete overhaul and our rates have gone up so the money must be put back into the community.Janet Smith (Hoedspruit, 2021-08-19)

We get affected by water leaks almost every week and it's so frustrating that things aren't being fixed correctly. I am tired of not having water but more irritated by the lack of correct maintenance being done on this clearly insufficient pipeline.Ricci Bozas (Hoedspruit, 2021-08-19)

I totally agree with this petition to demand a good, reliable infrastructure. Fixing breaks and bursts doesn’t help in the long term. We need professionals to create a new infrastructure that will last and will be cost-effective!And we also pay Maruleng Municipality to take care of this problems. We only receive increasing invoices
