Save Benoni Lakes and Dams from ongoing Sewage Leaks!

We the residents of Alphen Park, Farramere and surrounding Ekurhuleni suburbs hereby petition the MMC for Water, Sanitation and Energy, Cllr. Tiisetso Nketle, and the MMC for Infrastructure Masele Madihlaba, to urgently address and resolve the failing sewerage infrastructure causing continual sewage spills into the wetlands which feed the Benoni Lakes and Dams.

This sewage pollution is in contravention of the National Environmental Management Act, as well as the National Water Act, and threatens the biodiversity of the environmentally sensitive ecosystem.
