WILLOW DAM: POLLUTED WATER
The ‘Ugly Duckling’ of the Metro? HEILIE COMBRINCK
W
illow Dam is an absolute disgrace! A place known for its birdlife and variety of beautiful ducks now is full of sewage and rubbish. “Sewage has been flowing into the dam occasionally during the past month and the awful stench tells it all when it comes to service delivery to Uitenhage,” said Aubrey Nell, President of the Rotary Club of Uitenhage South. Members of the Rotary Club of Uitenhage South have once again shown that when it comes to service above self, they do not restrict themselves to certain days of doing good, but do good in their community throughout the year. They tackled Willow Dam and removed rubbish, bottles and even grocery trolleys from the dam. According to Dave McCleland from the Garden Town Initiative, “This is a health hazard and the overflowing of this sewage happens regularly. “Does the Metro not care what happens here in Uitenhage? We as residents are paying huge amounts in municipal rates and taxes to be treated in this way?” Willow Dam is the chosen venue of a forthcoming social event hosted by the Uitenhage Community Policing Forum to offer local charities, societies as well as businesses the opportunity to market themselves as well as socialize on the 31st August. ;Here are some of the members of the Rotary Club of Uitenhage South busy cleaning the area at Willow Dam.
