Die stank wat inwoners van Riverside Vrydag 31 Januarie geruik het, was weens \u2019n pyp wat gebars het en nie weens \u2019n \u201cgewone\u201d lekkasie nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit was die terugvoer van die Stellenbosch-munisipaliteit nadat die GOOD-party \u2019n verklaring uitgereik het oor inwoners se kommer oor die vermoedelike lekkasie van riool in die Dwarsrivier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die raadslid Grechard Petersen is inwoners bekommerd oor die gesondheids- en omgewingsrisiko wat die lekkasie vir die gemeenskap kan inhou. Petersen s\u00ea inwoners het die oorweldigende stank van rou riool in die lug aangemeld terwyl besoedelingstowwe wat in die Dwarsrivier geloop het, sigbaar was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit was met \u2019n inspeksie duidelik dat rou riool uit \u2019n munisipale rioollyn naby die Pni\u00ebl-substasie lek. Dit is kommerwekkend dat inwoners aangedui het dat dit die derde soortgelyke voorval binne die huidige boekjaar is, wat hul nood en frustrasie verder vererger,\u201d s\u00ea Petersen in \u2019n verklaring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stuart Grobbelaar, \u2019n munisipale woordvoerder, het egter by navraag ges\u00ea die gebarste pyp was by \u2019n Petersen meen egter die situasie spreek tot Pni\u00ebllers se deurlopende frustrasies. Een s\u00f3 \u2019n gereelde kopseer is riool wat glo gereeld \u2013 vir die afgelope 15 jaar \u2013 uit man-gate in Riversidestraat en Eastendsingel vloei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTen spyte van herhaalde versoeke van inwoners vir dringende opgradering van infrastruktuur en talle skakelings met beide die vorige [Gesie van Deventer] en huidige uitvoerende burgemeester [Jeremy Fasser] en top- senior munisipale amptenare in gemeenskapsvergaderings, is hul pleidooie vir begroting en doeltreffende optrede ge\u00efgnoreer. Hierdie voortdurende verwaarlosing het tot \u2019n toenemende gevoel van hopeloosheid en frustrasie gelei,\u201d meen Petersen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die munisipaliteit s\u00ea op sy beurt hy is toegewy om \u201cbetroubare infrastruktuur wat aan die departement van water en sanitasie se voorskrifte voldoen\u201d aan inwoners te verskaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn ooreenstemming hiermee het ons die munisipale begroting vir die pypvervangingsprogram van R4 miljoen tot R8 miljoen verdubbel en hierdie werk is aktief aan die gang,\u201d s\u00ea Grobbelaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy het ook bevestig \u2019n brief is by die kantoor van die Speaker ingedien en sal Woensdag 26 Februarie op die volgende raadsvergadering bespreek word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Die stank wat inwoners van
