SEWAGE RUNNING INTO RIVER
The cause was a broken sewer pipe where it crosses the river and the damage has probably been caused by abnormally high waters or a tree being washed downstream.
The region’s workmen moved in first of all to divert the sewage into another pipe and local contractors Thomas Graham and Sons have had to partially dam the river to divert the water flow and allow them to replace the old pipe with a new one.
Comment has been made that the pipes now visible to the passer-by were once completely covered up and that had the situation been maintained, then this current problem would never have arisen.
