Ward 90 councillor Martin Williams expressed his concerns about recurring leaks. He noted that various agencies, including Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA), Johannesburg Water, and Egoli gas network, have addressed these issues since 2016, but there has been little progress.

Williams emphasized the need for a comprehensive redesign of the entire structure to prevent further leaks and issues in the future.
