Editor –
I am so sick and tired of taking the right channels to get results!
SEE THIS: Watch how mucky water flows from Forderville resident’s taps
This 24/7 water flowing down our gutters is unacceptable. To the business concerned, please make provision and release your water into the proper channels and NOT INTO THE STORM-WATER DRAIN.
Interceptor tanks need to be in place. We don’t need your water flowing past us. uThukela and whomever else, you know who you are, as you have been on site, so please do your respective jobs.
This continued water flow is unhealthy and not acceptable. To the lady responsible for gutters and drains, you need to step it up and come and see what is going on in your town.
It is your responsibility to ensure that our gutters and drains are free-flowing and not obstructed by grass, vegetation, mud, stones, turned-over rubbish bins, glass and everything else.
Sewage is free-flowing in Roland Hellet Road. Our gutters are an absolute disgrace. Now is the season to get out there and clean up. You don’t have any excuses that the rain is tampering a job from being done.
The STORM-WATER drain alongside George Memorial Hospital – between them, Supa Quick and the Jacksons building (Clicks, Marylu, etc) – has been blocked with a gate and a fence.
That storm-water drain should be open and free to gushing water from the storms. Our FLOODING comes from there because all the rubbish from the top of the gutter and elsewhere gets trapped against the gate and fence, causing a wall, and the rain cannot flow down the gutter, so it goes down BIRCHLEIGH in Victoria Street’s driveway.
It enters over the wall, into Belmont Court, down into Oak Cottage, and into all the neighbouring homes and simplexes. So you need to do something to sort this out BEFORE the rains come again.
