The National Water and Sewerage Authority (Nawasa) has issued a public advisory regarding a significant disruption affecting the St. George’s Sewerage Network. The blockage, primarily caused by the improper disposal of foreign objects and excessive grease, has severely impacted the system’s efficiency and created operational challenges. Residents and commuters in the Green Bridge area may encounter unpleasant odours as a result of the ongoing issue.
Nawasa has swiftly mobilized its technical team to address the problem, deploying necessary resources to the site. Sewage disposal operations at the Green Bridge Disposal Facility have been temporarily halted to facilitate corrective measures. Over the coming days, the public can expect an increased presence of Nawasa personnel, including divers and specialized equipment, as efforts intensify to resolve the blockage.
The authority has urged the public to adhere to on-site precautionary measures and emphasized the importance of proper waste disposal practices. Indiscriminate disposal of grease, solid waste, and other materials into the sewer network not only disrupts the system but also adversely affects the broader community.
Nawasa has reassured the public that every effort is being made to restore normal operations as quickly as possible. The authority expressed gratitude for the community’s patience and cooperation during this challenging period.
