And the Sewage Came Down in Torrents

16 November 2011 By Alan

Hi Folks,

Once again I have to report that the same sewer, in the Baakens Valley, that I have reported before, is once again overflowing.

On an outing on Saturday, before the heavy rain shower, we came upon the gushing excrement.

After the 18 May incident and the massive overflow in June, I was assured that it would be taken care of.

Contrary to various promises and reports, nothing has been done to solve this problem.

This is simply not acceptable.

Many people are paid a good deal of money to see to the efficient running of our metro and all of its systems.

This money is our money, collected in the form of taxes and  entrusted to these elected officials to administer for the good of all Tax payers.

If only they would do their jobs!

I have once again copied everybody that I can think of to try to assist with this  problem,  I await feedback…

Regards

Steff Schenk

Baakens Sewage

ermm I don’t think that standing on the manhole will stop that deluge, Steff
