2024/10/18 11:00 Blougat at Bergland as bad as normal. Water level up slightly and some sludge seems to have washed on to the river banks with the recent rain.
2024/10/18 10:20 Delportan dump site, horrible nauseating smell , not normal sewage type of smell. No security so no access control. Seems quiet today. The manhole that often overflows, isn't today.
2024/10/18 09:38, Blougat at Robert Broom. The pipeline from Munsieville Ext4. sewage pump station to the main pipeline overflowing into the Blougat Spruit. The Blougat Spruit looking upstream from the bridge is more discoloured than normal and there is a smell present. Looking downstream one can see the darker patch were the raw sewage from the overflowing manhole is flowing into the Blougat Spruit. As I was about to leave a Mogale team arrived to work on the overflow.
2024/10/15. 08:45. Brickvale, Tarlton. Still not operational. Electricity seems to be in. Sewage dam is lower due to blockage in trench being removed. Lots of gassing and a strong smell. The sewage is flowing straight to the large pit next to the N14.
2024/10/15 08:20 Bergland, looking as bad as usual. Very dark discolouration and some foam. A strong rotten smell present today. Fortunately the wind is dispersing the smell. Also strong smell in the lawns vicinity, mix of sludge spread on the grass and irrigation taking place. Can see on the side of the low water bridge that the level has dropped slightly.
