Leaking sewerage system creates a mess

Sewage everywhere
Gulf News reader Peers Bailiff took these photographs of sewage that has been leaking in the Palm Jumeirah area of Dubai. He said: “I have noticed that the temporary sewerage facility on the east crescent of the outer rim of the Palm has been leaking sewage onto the road and it is all over the place. Also, the storm drains close to the sewerage plant are constantly leaking, leaving residue behind. It has been like this for about six months and it smells, affecting the people that drive, walk and work in this area all day long. The facility is just before the bridge on the right-hand side. Sewage has been lying on the road and is even splattered on the blue construction boards.”
