Please sort out the sewerage and drainage issue which us as tax payers already paid for! It is a huge health risk!

We live in the area and we constantly have flooding and sewerage flooding in our streets.

We pay excessice amounts for services which are just not forthcoming . Ir is a health hazard. It brings our property value down which we pay taxes for.

I have been affected twice in the last 4 years costing me thousands of rands because of the lack of maintenance on the current storm water drains with all debris coming out with the heavy rains, which in turn blocks all the extra drainage I have had to put in to compensate for the lack of drainage in the area which also hasn’t been updated to accommodate development in the area.

The storm water drains are not being cleaned regularly and maintained as should be, and causing flooding in our houses and streets when it rains

My House flooded due to Storm Water

My house has now(after the 28 Dec 2020) been flooded for the 3rd time in 4 years. The damages amounting to R1.9million in 2016. The nearest storm water drainage to my house is no nearer than 50m. Myself and my family can no longer live in fear of flooding due to poor infrastructure and poor maintenance from the Boksburg council. These matters need extremely urgent attention.

There is a very unhealthy, unsanitary problem in Limbahout street that needs to be attended to please. Residents will get sick from this.

I live in a beautiful water rich city but the council took the work away from the people of this city the workers who diligently cleaned the storm water drains daily weekly monthly. We always saw happy people working to clean up this city day and night They were replaced by tender businesses and even me with poor knowledge about operating the equipment and cleaning of storm drains can see that the tender workers have no idea what they are doing. So I suggest people who get the tender must show legitimate papers that their crews are trained for the job before they can get a tender and must be paid only when councillors inspect the job and sign it off.

So fed up with incompetent people.
Another example as to why you need to employ people thats honest and hardworking. Our system needs change and change needs to come from the top. Get someone in charge that has a passion to serve others not themselves.

The City of Ekurhuleni is obligated to provide essential services to its residents. By not regularly maintaining critical infrastructure, will result in exorbitant cost to rate payers to replace obsolete infrastructure.

The park at the back of my house looked like the Vaaldam therefore very dangerous and the trees in the park flourish now due to the water, which is a security hazard, perpetrators nice place to hide.

City planners and roads department need to allocate storm water drains to handle the surplus of water that has no outlets! 28th December 2020 majority Sunward park Boksburg residents were flooded within their homes and property which is unacceptable due to the infrastructure of no outlets, and or not sufficient to handle the surplus of water!

Want change in Sunward Park. Heavy rains are making sewerage pipes overflow in my garden. The manhole is perfect the problem lies outside in the street wherever.

The maintenance in Boksburg is terrible!!!

Lana Berger (Boksburg , 2021-01-09)

We stay in a cul-de-sac in Limbahout Avenue and when it rains we cannot exit our property due to the stormwater drain being blocked, we also have a sewerage problem due to the new Builders Warehouse overflowing into our street blocking our road and having to drive through it causes a health concern

Deliana Trentelman (Boksburg, 2021-01-09)

We are in dire need of sufficient drainage systems in our area to avoid flooding as we experienced 28 December 2020

The aged infrastructure and poor/no maintenance will ultimately result in total collapse as highlighted in many ANC controlled municipalities

We had extensive flood damage to our property on the 28 December 2020
1. Drains not cleared
2. Grass cuttings from Parks not cleared causing drains to be blocked
3. Road surface raised higher than property level each time road is resurfaced

Boksburg looks like an abandoned city with overgrowth on every pavement, park and especially storm water drains causing havoc during storms with the pressure causing sewerage spillages

This an essential service we are not getting!!

Nothing gets done if we the people don't make a scene...absolutely pathetic. Wrong people in power as they just fill a seat and don't work for the money we the people provide.

I'm signing because when it rains I am too afraid to drive as all the roads are floaded.

I'm signing because we are renting and we have also been severly affected by the storm and also suffered great loss.

We pay good money in rates and taxes and this should be part of the service we receive from the municipality.

I'm signing as in our 5 yrs in this house we have had 2 major floods latest 28/12/2020 as the few storm water drains in Uiterkyk are to narrow and not maintained and Gesternte has two one at top and one at bottom of street.
Bigger and more stormwater drains HAVE to be built on an urgent basis, especially in Gesternte.

Amanda Neale (Boksburg, 2021-01-11)

Our entire house was flooded knee deep due to blocked drains in Rutter and Scribante Street Libradene Ext 1 Boksburg. Drains have not been opened for years to clear out rubble and leaves.

Chantal Mc Luckie (Boksburg, 2021-01-12)

The storm water drains are so clogged with vegetation and rubbish. This rubbish could even end up in our oceans! People think a storm water drain is a dustbin!! I don’t see evidence of maintenance of roads, parks and pavements in general in Boksburg. Conditions are deteriorating at an alarming rate. Potholes that have been repaired don’t last. Before long the pothole reappears.

Stephanie Pienaar (Boksburg , 2021-01-13)

I'm signing because I live in Boksburg and have personally witnessed the devastation to homes and our area due to the problems with storm drains AS WELL as the lack of sufficient drainage in the area. We ALL pay rates and taxes and we deserve to be safe in our homes.
