Cornwall Courts Residents Protest The Stench
Militant residents of Cornwall Courts and Green Pond mounted massive roadblocks yesterday, as they protested against the stench that emanates from the flow of raw sewage in the area. The residents complained that the flow of untreated effluent – accompanied by a strong offensive odor – is making life unbearable and unhealthy.
The protests come even as the National Water Commission (NWC) is scheduled to commence next week to construct a sewer main that will be used to discharge sewage from the housing scheme to the central sewage system in Bogue. The project is to be carried out by Tank Weld Ltd., and will see over 2.4 kilometres of sewer lines being run from King Street to Bogue.
