Overflowing manhole across the road from the pump station. Area behind pump station, sewage come out of back of residences. The structure that was here has been removed.  Floor is still flooded. Sewage bubbling out of pipe at the back of a toilet.  Sewage should be flowing in the other direction.  Down the road on its way to the Blougat and the Cradle.  Smell is back.

Trench doing to pit Continuous flow of sewage entering the pit. The pit next to the N14, slowly filling up.  Can compare with the photos taken on the 30th July to see increase in levels.

 2023/09/19  10:30  During the past few months the Save The Cradle Rivers Group has been quite busy with various interventions.  One of the interventions that has been successfully completed is the Delportan sewage truck dump site. A decent thick reinforced concrete slab with retaining wall at the back has been thrown and two sliding gates installed. The above photos show what has been done, and how it works. There are also two security personnel at the site who are checking permits and recording details of trucks coming to unload.   Hopefully in the near future there will be Mogale personnel on site to take random samples from the trucks to ensure that the waste is within parameters to be able to be handled by the Percy Stewart WWTWs. This should stop all sewage waste from activities here from flowing down the side of the ravine and into the Blougat Spruit.
