New water meters leaking

Gareth from Burwood

We have just had the CCC in our street fitting the new wireless water meters, so they can charge us for our water usuage.
We were never notified that they were going to cut our water today....
They have now left the street and left my meter leaking.
I have rung the CCC and complained about both issues....to be told they should be back to fix it by the end of the week.....
That's a lot of water that is going to be wasted that they expect me to pay for!!!

Anyone on the east side should keep an eye out for CCC doing work in their street and make sure your meters are not leaking once they have been replaced.

Update....
I got a text from the CCC to say it would take 10 days to fix....
Then council ute pulled up outside..... said to guy your here quick they told me 10 days.... He said he wasn't here for that.... he was just checking the units had been installed correctly..... We agreed that wasn't the case....:-)
He has now dug a big pile of earth out to expose more pipe so he could make repairs....
He said he wished he hadn't checked mine... as he only checks random ones and mine was the first he had ever done.....

He also told me that when being installed.... they do them randomly in the street..... 10 this side 5 the other and leave rest for later some time....
Talk about mickey mouse.
