Obese Sewers !

After a sewer inspection today at the Merryton sewer manholes, Scottish Water confirms that the sewers to the east of the Merryton bridge are CHOKED with FAT and SILT. This comes as no surprise to me since the system has been telling us that for years by spewing out sewage after every 20 minute cloudburst. It also confirms what I have been saying for years that lack of sewer and drain maintenance is at the root of the problem. If the Bore of the pipes is reduced by whatever percentage, it stands to reason that the system will not function as it should. A thorough clear out of all of Nairns rainwater drains and sewers is what is needed, since much of the silt is carried jointly into the system. The system needs to be kept in tip top condition, otherwise it just wont cope with demand. I understand that the sewer system to the east of Merryton bridge will be cleaned out by Scottish water.
