Klerksdorp Record, Orkney - The sewage flowing down Carlyle Street into a storm water drain, is at last being attended to.
For the past week, contractors could be seen working at the site where sewage water has been allowed to spill for weeks on end exposing residents to serious health risks and the most awful stench.
Cllr Orapeleng Moremedi said the DA is concerned about the continued collapse of basic service delivery in Orkney. “Pothole-riddled roads and raw sewage flowing through streets have become a daily reality in several parts of the town. These conditions are not only unacceptable but dangerous, undignified and a direct threat to public health and safety. Deep potholes are damaging vehicles, increasing the risk of accidents and making roads unsafe for motorists, pedestrians and emergency services,’’ he said.
