I excersise their regularly and we have paid for thus to be cleared so isn't it easier and cheaper to maintain than to redo it all again amidst flooding.

The flooding from the Atlasville Stream is problematic every year, putting neighbouring properties & resident at serious risk of less & damage. Prevention is key to preserve assets & life.

Marilyn Knell (Boksburg, 2020-08-28)

We were promised regular maintenance. This has not happened and I am fearful that my home will be flooded yet again when the rains come.

Janet Hughes (Boksburg, 2020-08-28)

There is a significant risk of flooding to the properties in Atlasvillle, if the requisite maintenance to the Atlasvillle stream, is not conducted on an ongoing annual basis.

In addition to this, the overgrowth of reeds are compromising the eco system of the stream, by blocking the free flow of water & present a real fire hazard, as the reeds have become so dry.

Julie Braybrooke (Boksburg, 2020-08-28)

Living in Atlasville 36 years l care for this wonderful community and neighborhood so we need the reeds to be removed before we have floods again. Thank you so much for your assistance in this matter.

I have logged calls previously for this work to be done, it is so overgrown that you can’t even see there is water. My rates and taxes are paid for the area I live in to be maintained and it hasn’t been happening.

The reeds and alien vegetation are clogging up the waterways.

Naiomi Benn (Boksburg, 2020-08-28)

It is a safety/security risk and looks really bad, decreasing the values of our properties.

Marli Basson (Boksburg, 2020-08-28)

#111

typical failure of the municipality to maintain anything that our tax money ia supposed to funds. Reeds cause UNTOLD destruction during flooding season. Deal with it now. And mauntain the grass at the park while you're at it.

Please cut the reeds because the water stink and is a probleem with water flow.

Ronél Smit (Atlasville, 2020-08-29)

Excess reeds harbour mosquitoes and with spring/summer approching our suburb will be over run with mosquitoes.

As a resident of Atlasville, the vlei (stream) area is a wonderful attraction which should be maintained for the benefit of all residents and visitors to the area.

I live on Gompou Street directly in front of the vlei and we were severely fllooded in 2010. The reeds have not been managed for many years nor has the council maintained and cleaned the stormwater systems in the area. Please can the council implement their plans as we wi soon enter the raint season

I live across the road from the reeds. This is overgrown and during floods there's no proper flow which overflows into my yard. Several times I couldn't go out my driveway during heavy rains. Please fix it.

Kavi Naicker (Boksburg, 2020-08-30)

The excessive build up of reeds in the vlei is causing a number of problems:

Risk of flooding
Health risk due to stagnant water
We no longer can enjoy a clean flowing stream

Alan Dunn (Boksburg, 2020-08-30)

This stream that runs through lower Atlasville is of particular importance to birdlovers as well as so many forms of animal welfare. It is of utmost importance that the reeds are removed annuaĺly to keep the stream from flooding homes in the rainy season, which is almost upon us. It costs the home owners thousands of rands to have their homes repaired. Please make this request a matter of urgency.

Wendy Smith (Atlasville Boksburg, 2020-08-31)

My parent live near the vlei and I’ve walked there my whole life. Would be lovely if the water could flow so there’s not so much stagnant water and litter caught in the reeds.

Clare Emms (Benoni, 2020-09-01)

Seen the flood previously

Elaine Neu (Ekurhuleni, 2020-09-01)

Its vital to clean the reeds before the rain starts and flooding starts all over again in our suburbs. Thank you.
