A dark blue fleesy jacket, with a black beeny in the pocket, was thrown over the broken end to stop the perpetrator from getting all wet. Vetus Schola followed the water running down Scott Road coming from my property, and alerted me to the fact. Thank you for that. I contacted the Council "contact us", and await the usual reply; The 10111 SAPS - They soon arrived to take a statement; The Water Department to report the problem of disrupted water supply. They will hopefully soon repair and replace the fittings. Have a great day.
