One year after the city’s Solid Waste Department removed five loads of sand from his neighbour’s drain, Kitty resident Joseph Ramsey is once again asking for help, prompting the intervention of the City Engineer.
In May 2015, Ramsey complained that his neighbour, who had construction work ongoing at his premises, had clogged the drain, resulting in his yard being flooded. This flooding had caused him serious inconvenience and affected his health, causing the development of a skin condition.
In response to the complaint, the city’s Solid Waste Director Walter Narine had conducted a massive clean-up and removed not only the sand, which the neighbor had dumped in the waterway, but a combined total of five loads of sand and silt.
