Operations at NP’s Sea Lots gas plant has been shut down because of a leaking WASA sewerline outside the facility.
• According to a worker, the large sewer line has been leaking for several weeks and nothing had been done to remedy the situation.
• He said sewer had been entering the gas plant and workers decided they have had enough and decided to stay off the job today, Tuesday 6th September, 2022.
• He said given the health and safety issue, workers decided to walk off the job in protest. Such prompted WASA workers to visit the area in an attempt to remedy the situation which cannot be done overnight given the nature of the leak.
• There were few workers on the compound when our camera crew visited the area a short while ago.
• Customers were turned away by the security and told to return tomorrow but the worker said it is highly unlikely WASA would be able to repair the huge leak by tomorrow.
• The worker also added that simply placing dirt to prevent sewer from seeping into the NP gas plant, which he described as a “botched job”, would not eliminate the issue.
