HIT RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION REPAIRS SEWERAGE BLOCKAGES AND SPILLS ON BEHALF OF MALUTI-A-PHOFUNG MUNICIPALITY

Some of our members complained about blocked manholes and sewerage spilling in to their properties, in to streets and, which was not being addressed by our local municipality.  The health and environmental risks associated with spilling sewerage is a very big concern to all of us and should always be treated as an urgent matter and be repaired as quick as possible.

We notified Maluti-A-Phofung and gave them a reasonable time frame in which to repair and resolve these problems. Upon inspection after the deadline, we found that the municipality did not respond to these complaints. We sent our contractors to unblock and to do any necessary repairs to prevent further sewerage spills and leaks. Repairs done will be for Maluti-A-Phofung Municipality's account.
