I WAS shocked to find a red new water meter roughly connected to the pipes in front of my house next to my main gate when I got out of my house.

I was in the whole afternoon and other than a short cut-off of water supply, which puzzled me, nobody rang the bell to inform us what they intended to do.

What was most upsetting is the way Syabas contractors carried out the job.

Firstly, there was no prior notice. Secondly, my existing meter was changed only about two years ago and thirdly, the work done was so shoddy that it left an awful sight in front of our house. The meter was roughly joined to a long unsightly black PVC pipe.

Can Syabas explain why do they need to change the meter when it has just been changed recently? Even though it is a public utility company, we are the ones paying the bills.

What gives them the right to carrying such changes without informing us first and causing our well laid-out front area to look horrible?

DISGUSTED
