I have found new empathy for the Metro looking for all those water leaks
A recent report - http://mype.co.za/new/42-of-water-lost-between-dam-and-tap/76066/2016/09 - stated that the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropole loses 42% of it's water from Dam to Tap.

But over four months down the line, hundreds of thousands of litres of water continue to flow from over 600 leaks in the area, because Mayor Jordaan has again broken his … [Read more...] about 600 water leaks in Despatch and Khayamnandi remain broken

Dear MyPE I have complained many times to the NMMM about the wastage below. Yesterday I got an email quoting a reference number for the water leak. But still nothing about the lights My original complaint: "I wish to complain about the Street lights in Haworthia Drive, Calendula Drive, Alysum Crescent and Dahlia Street. They are burning 24 hours a day.
