Elderly, frail hit hardest by water shortage
SOME Verulam residents have gone two weeks without piped water. They include the frail, disabled and elderly who now have to carry water in buckets from tankers.
Some of the affected areas have been Trenance Park, Buffelsdraai, Amaoti, Redcliffe, Dawncrest, Brindhaven, Cordoba Gardens, Sanaa Township and parts of the Verulam CBD.
While piped water returned to some areas, those living in Trenance Park were still without water earlier this week.
WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY:
Suresh Sukraj, a pensioner who lives on Celtis Close in Trenance Park, said the situation was unbearable.
