Die riool wat jare lank al vrylik oral in Kroonstad vloei, bly vir inwoners \u2019n groot kopseer. Klagtes vanuit verskeie woonbuurte, en die kwessie dat die riool alles in die Valsrivier beland, vuur die kommer aan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit nadat die rioolaanlegte van Kroonstad in 2016 opgeknap is en herstelwerk ook in 2021 teen \u2019n enorme bedrag gedoen is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chris Dalton, DA-raadslid in die Moqhaka-munisipaliteit, het na aanleiding van verskeie klagtes op Woensdag 24 Julie \u2019n oorsigbesoek aan die Kroonstad-rioolaanleg gebring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea hoewel aansienlike verbeterings aan albei kante van die aanleg aangebring is, het nadere ondersoek ernstige onderliggende probleme getoon hier waar herstelwerk etlike jare gelede gedoen is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBaie van die mangate langs die pypleidings wat na die aanleg lei, is oop en riool borrel oral uit. Selfs rondom die aanleg is mangate oop, wat riool teen \u2019n kommerwekkende tempo in die Valsrivier laat vloei.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gabrie Grobler, \u2019n inwoner van Suidrand in Kroonstad, s\u00ea riool vloei al jare lank in di\u00e9 woonbuurt. Dit veroorsaak onder meer dat strate en paaie toegegroei is onder bosse, wat dit ontoeganklik maak vir motoriste en vragmotors wat aflewerings in die buurt moet doen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die inwoners moet noodgedwonge met die stank van riool saamleef. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die riool veroorsaak ook groot skade aan die infrastruktuur van woonhuise in die omgewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die burgerregteorganisasie AfriForum het in \u2019n brief op 22 Julie \u2019n dringende versoek aan die Moqhaka-munisipaliteit gerig nadat talle klagtes oor die voortslepende rioolvloei ontvang is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die organisasie het ook Maandag watermonsters van die Valsrivier geneem en dit vir toetsing aan \u2019n onafhanklike laboratorium gestuur. Hulle het in die skrywe aangevoer dat die riool ernstige gesondheidsrisiko\u2019s vir die gemeenskap inhou en erge omgewingsbesoedeling veroorsaak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn April het ons die riool in sy ge\u00efntegreerde ontwikkelingsplan (GOP) onder die Moqhaka-munisipaliteit se aandag gebring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTot op hede het die munisipaliteit geen daadwerklike poging aangewend om die probleem op te los nie,\u201d s\u00ea Christa Ikking, AfriForum se distriksko\u00f6rdineerder vir die Hoogland. Die munisipaliteit het 14 dae om op AfriForum se brief te reageer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dika Kheswa, woordvoerder vir die Moqhaka-munisipaliteit, het bevestig dat die munisipaliteit Maandag met AfriForum, die DA en VF Plus vergader het om die rioolkwessie te bespreek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die munisipaliteit het bevestig dat probleme soos verstopte dreine en pype weens gebrekkige afvoer en gemors wat in die stelsel beland, asook probleme by die rioolaanleg en infrastruktuur, die oorsaak van die rioolvloei is. Die munisipaliteit sou later die week met die kontrakteur wat aan die rioolaanleg werk, vergader om \u2019n oplossing te vind. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
