A 76 metre section of the sewer line along Likas Bay has finally been repaired, with the public no longer having to hold their nose when they move along the main road between the Bay 21 Condominiums and Rural Development Corporation’s market grounds
Canisters of activated carbon have been put in place along Jalan Tun Fuad Stephens to minimise the recurring nuisance created by the stench coming from a section of the roadside drain between some condominiums and the Rural Development Corporation’s market grounds in Likas Bay.
A Sewage Services Department (SSD) spokesman said the foul smell was a result of the effluent which was being emptied into the drain, while the agency endeavours to finish repairing the damaged sewer mains beneath the verge.
She said there was a strong possibility of “the manholes downstream” overflowing if the sewage was not released in this manner
The Sewage Services Department is keeping tabs on the sewer line servicing parts of the City while waiting for new pumps to be installed at its Australia Place pumping-station.
A spokeswoman for the agency said the existing devices – both the one used daily, as well as the one on standby – malfunctioned late last month
