After a couple of days of watching water flowing at
the rate of about 300 litres an hour from a leaking fire hydrant in Nihill
Cres, Mission Bay, I finally decided to ring Watercare Services.
However I was put on to a foreign-speaking lady (
Indian accent?) and as I endeavoured to give the precise co-ordinates of the
offending hydrant, it appeared impossible for this lovely lady to understand my
pronunciation of the word Nihill. Feeling my blood pressure rising, I hung up. The problem is that the hydrant is still spilling
thousands of litres down the drain.
