Slow Leak of Cut Corners

RESIDENTS of Satur have complained of a leaking water pipe at the corner of Seaward Avenue and Satur Roads, saying Council has ignored their requests for it to be fixed for more than five days.

The slow leaking water pipe that won’t be a simple fix.

The pipe is laid beside telecommunication and electricity cables which will complicate repair work.

A former employee said that Council are using cheaper, inferior products to cut costs, which he said will continue to result in more maintenance issues.

“The cost of them buying the proper things in the first place would be much less than the cost of them having to dig stuff like that up and I bet they’ll still put in the cheap pins again,” he said.

Council did not respond to questions relating to their water repair program.
