GWI workers clearing vegetation to locate chamber

A 40-year-old mother of two children has been experiencing a problem for two months now where the sewage from the house has been backing up, overflowing in the yard and producing a repugnant smell which is permeating the house, creating severe discomfort for her family.

Teshauna Headley who resides at Lot 4 Princes Street, Werk-en-Rust, related to the Stabroek News that for about two months, the house sewage that goes into the outlet in her yard has been clogged and overflowing into the yard. This has created an unhealthy environment for her children, ages 19 and 9, and her grandmother.

She said that what makes it even worse is that when it rains, the yard floods and the water is mixed with the sewage making it more unhealthy for her family.
