\u2019n Groot en gevaarlike gat vol riool in Zwelethemba was vir bykans twee maande oop, maar is skielik toegemaak nadat Standard<\/i> daaroor navraag gedoen het. <\/p>\n
Victor Rampeng het Vrydag 6 Mei aan die koerant ges\u00ea die gat by die erf in die buurt staan al die afgelope twee maande oop.<\/p>\n
Rampeng s\u00ea \u2019n vrou het selfs al in die gat geval en die kinders speel gereeld naby die gat, wat \u2019n groot gesondheidsgevaar vir hulle inhou.<\/p>\n
Tydens ons besoek het kinders naby die muur, wat lyk asof dit enige tyd in die gat kan omval, gespeel. Rampeng s\u00ea hy moes konstant kinders wat naby die gat speel, wegjaag.<\/p>\n
\u201cHulle (BVM) het die gat gegrawe en nooit weer teruggekom nie,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n
Hy het verskeie e-posse aan die munisipaliteit gestuur om te vra dat die gat toegegooi word. Die gat is verlede week deur die munisipaliteit opgevul.<\/p>\n
\n Juliaceen Job, \u2019n inwoner van woonstel L7 in Roodewal, sukkel al die afgelope ses weke om die munisipaliteit sover te kry om die rioolprobleem in haar agterplaas op te los. <\/p>\n
\u201cEk wag al ses weke lank vir die munisipaliteit om iets te doen. Hulle was een keer hier; hulle het net gekyk en weer gery. Hier is \u2019n klomp mense wat kan getuig dat hulle net kyk en weer ry,\u201d s\u00ea Job.<\/p>\n
Job s\u00ea sy was reeds by die BVM om vir hulp te vra, maar tot nou het sy nog geen hulp ontvang nie.<\/p>\n
\u201cDie water is grasgroen en stink verskriklik. My pa is nou bedl\u00eaend en ek het longinfeksie weens die riool opgedoen,\u201d s\u00ea Job.<\/p>\n
\n Die eienaars van die Truck Stop op die hoek van die Robertson-pad en Perkinsstraat is die nuutste sakelui wat kla oor die uitwerking wat die riool op hul onderneming het. Hulle s\u00ea die rioolstank maak hul werkers siek en jaag klante weg. Die aanhoudende vandalisme in die omgewing veroorsaak \u2019n veiligheidsrisiko vir hul onderneming sowel as hul klante.<\/p>\n
Navraag is aan die munisipaliteit gestuur, en die antwoord volg hieronder.<\/p>\n
JP Myburg, kommunikasiebeampte vir die BVM, s\u00ea die uitdagings wat tans ondervind word, is grootliks aan drie aspekte gekoppel: vandalisme, \u2019n tekort aan masjiene (JetVacs) en verouderde stelsels. \u201cOns vind steeds klippe, gestolde vet, koerante, papier, metaal en allerlei ander goed in ons dreineringstelsel. Hierdie uitdagings maak dit moeilik om die probleme spoedig op te los aangesien dit baie personeel en tyd verg om rommel in die stelsels te soek. Rioolstelsels maak staat op hellings en swaartekrag, waar water gewoonlik hidroulies aangedrewe is. Dit beteken mense moet fisiek by die stelsels ingestuur word,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n
Myburg voeg by daar is hoop. Die munisipaliteit doen omvattende studies oor die gebiede wat geraak word. Dit word gedoen deur kenners wat die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit met \u2019n soortgelyke studie gehelp het. <\/p>\n
\u201cFase 1 van die studie, wat Rawsonville insluit, is amper voltooi en die ander gebiede sal teen einde Augustus klaar wees. Hierna sal aanbevelings gedoen word om ons inwoners en spanne te help. Die munisipaliteit het ook vir twee nuwe JetVac-masjiene begroot. Dit sal hierdie jaar aangeskaf word en ons spanne bystaan om probleme op te los. Tans moet aandag gegee word aan groot krisisse en instandhouding, wat veroorsaak dat alle ander klagtes geprioritiseer moet word en daarvolgens aangepak moet word. Intussen het ons ekstra personeel aangestel en ons het \u2019n ekstra JetVac wat gehuur word.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cDaardie gebied is \u2019n hotspot<\/i>. Ons kry gereeld klagtes. Ons spanne was daar om inwoners by te staan en \u2019n gat moes gegrawe word weens \u2019n struktuur wat deur die eienaars van die woning op die rioollyn opgerig is. Ons moes toe tyd toelaat sodat al die riool kan dreineer, waarna die gat die afgelope week toegemaak is. Ons het ook ons konsultante daarheen gestuur,\u201d s\u00ea Myburg.<\/p>\nprobleem in l-blok:<\/h1>\n
Myburg s\u00ea die probleem wat by die L-blok opgeduik het, is weke gelede opgelos, maar \u2019n nuwe probleem is by die J-blok ge\u00efdentifiseer en hul spanne werk daaraan. Hy s\u00ea dit is op die dieselfde rioollyn en dan stoot riool tussen die blokke op. <\/p>\n
\u201cOns spanne pomp gereeld daar en ons soek na \u2019n oplossing deur hierdie studie om daardie probleem die hoof te bied. Die rioolstelsel is verouderd en beurtkrag kniehalter die pomp van riool. Daar woon ook soveel meer mense in daardie omgewing \u2013 meer as byvoorbeeld 10 jaar gelede.\u201d <\/p>\n
Myburg verduidelik vandalisme is \u2019n groot uitdaging in die nywerheidsgebied. Hy s\u00ea die BM-spanne probeer hul bes, maar dit is soms \u2019n onbegonne taak. Volgens hom behoort die probleem binne die volgende paar dae opgelos te wees, maar hy noem die munisipaliteit kry allerhande goed wat in die rioolstelsel weggesteek word. <\/p>\n
\u201cDraadheinings en metaal veral. Die raad het egter \u2019n sekuriteitsplan wat hierdie soort diefstal en vandalisme sal aandurf,\u201d voeg hy by.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
