Previously, burst water pipes were a constant challenge in his ward, the councillor said he was pleased that the City Council allocated budget to a project like this one for his ward. “New water pipes was part of my Integrated Development Plan (IDP) for this financial and this is good news for residents in my ward because they will have improved water services,” explained Tonkin.
