Woman threatens BCC with court action over sewer bursts

A BULAWAYO resident is considering taking the Bulawayo City Council (BCC) to court to compel the local authority to remove a sewer line from her yard because sewage is flooding her home causing her family discomfort and exposing it to water-borne diseases.

Audrey Dlodlo said the slow response by the local authority compounded her problems, adding that many times she sought refuge at her rural home when it took long to correct the situation.

The latest sewer burst occurred last week and despite repeated requests BCC plumbers are yet to respond.
