Sewage woes continue for businesses

Sewage is said to have been pouring out of drains in the area for almost 2 years

Endless sewer problems face business owners at the corner of King and Lyell Street, with claims that sewage has been pouring out of drains in the area for almost 2 years.

The raw effluent pours out on a daily basis; not only that, but also oil and fat.

According to businessmen, the stench is unbearable. They say that, “Sometimes people don’t want to come to our offices due to the smell.” The stench is said to make its way up into the offices and stay trapped inside.

Because of the horrendous odour, lots of flies are always around, adding to the unpleasant situation.

These businesses want the situation to be sorted out as soon as possible, and say that a solution is long overdue.

uThukela workers have been attending to the problem. However, they unblock the drain and within days, sewage is pouring out again.
