Illegal dumping of rubble in the sewer system has exposed Nyanga residents to health risks because of sewerage spillage, Cape Town City said on Wednesday.
"Water and Sanitation officials were shocked to find two large rocks in the 450mm diameter pipeline.
"These massive rocks did not land up in the system by accident. We again urge residents not to deposit any builders' rubble, rocks, engine parts, sand or oils into the sewerage system," said councillor Clive Justus from the Utilities Portfolio Committee.
Blocked sewerage causes overflows which pose severe health threats to the area's residents, he said.
Justus urged residents to report any incidents of illegal dumping to Metro Police at 021 596 1999. - Sapa
