Overflowing sewage cause major issues around the island

by Nicole

Late Wednesday afternoon, as rain began to fall, our editorial department received reports of yet another sewage overflow in the hotel zone. This ongoing issue has become a serious problem, and it is not the first time the area has been affected. The situation has worsened in recent years, with the previous government failing to address the problem. Now, the current administration faces mounting pressure to find a solution.

Each time the sewage overflows, both tourists and workers in the hotel zone are forced to navigate through contaminated water, enduring the foul smell and unhygienic conditions. This persistent issue exposes both visitors and locals to significant health risks, making it an urgent concern for all.

The problem extends beyond the hotel zone and is also affecting residents of the Sero Patrishi neighborhood. Late Wednesday night, several residents contacted our editorial team to report that sewage water had once again flooded the area. Many of them have been forced to sleep in unpleasant, unsanitary conditions due to the overpowering smell. Frustrated, residents are calling on authorities to take immediate action to address the situation, as the sewage system appears to be overwhelmed and no longer functioning properly.

With both the hotel zone and Sero Patrishi experiencing repeated sewage overflows, it is clear that a long-term solution is needed to prevent further damage and ensure the health and safety of both the local community and visitors.
