Living a sewage nightmare
Living in a nightmare is what some residents in Tucville are saying as they have to put up with the stench and possible health repercussions that occur from an ongoing sewerage leak. This has been the case for some two years now.
Sewerage in the drain at the entrance of one Tucville house
One perturbed resident of I17928 Tucville related his horror story of having to abandon his house for some two years because repeated calls to the relevant authorities proved futile.
“We have made several complains to the GWI maintenance department…We are still plagued with this situation.”
It was explained that there is a rupture in the sewerage main below the surface of the earth and the contents seep through the soil into the drain.
Waste oil has been the alternative resorted to by the residents and this seems to be working, given the fact that the relevant authorities seem not to be interested in resolving the dilemma.
The waste oil is poured in the drain to cover the sewerage and helps to quell the stench.
