Serious sewage problem

Serious sewage problem

Dear Editor,

If you were to visit downtown, Kingston, you would be disgusted by the current condition of the place.Daily, raw sewage floods the busy roadways and assails motorists and pedestrians with a foul odour. This is unbearable!I think the media has done a poor job at highlighting this problem in the area and so I am urgently appealing for help.The sewage poses a serious hazard, environmental and otherwise, especially if it makes direct contact with the skin. The authorities must seek to rectify this problem immediately.This is a very serious matter.
