Water leak in Edgemead wrecks driveway
Tabletalk
|April 30, 2025
Nearly six months after a water leak in Langkloof Way, Edgemead, left a driveway damaged, it has not been repaired.
Despite repeated unanswered complaints to authorities, leaving resident Clive Owen with mounting frustration and no resolution.
According to Mr Owen, the water leak below the driveway was repaired by the City of Cape Town on Tuesday, November 26, but the bricks on the surface of the driveway were not repaired or replaced and were left in a pile.
Mr Owen said that while the property belonged to his daughter and son-in-law, who are abroad and leasing it to tenants, he believes that the onus was on him to get the property back to its original condition.
