Heavy rain leads to '˜foul' wastewater in Ballykelly man's garden

Ernest Moore told the ‘Journal’ the heavy rain caused water from sewers to burst up through manhole coversat Hyacinth Avenue and overflow, with the water then running into the gardens of local homes.

Mr Moore, who lives with a disability, said the issue has been ongoing for a number of years and told how residents are getting increasingly fed up.

He spent Saturday trying to pump the foul smelling water from his premises but was worried that further rain forecast would cause more issues.

Mr Moore said the overflowing sewerage tank needs to be fixed sooner rather than later.
