The persistent leakages have led to significant water wastage while also disrupting daily movement for pedestrians, motorists, and nearby residents. In several areas, roads and walkways have become muddy and slippery, posing inconvenience and potential safety risks, especially for children and the elderly.

Community members are now calling on the National Water and Electricity Company (NAWEC) and relevant authorities to swiftly inspect the affected areas, repair the damaged pipes, and adopt more durable measures to prevent repeated punctures.
