Raetihi Borough to get tough about blocked drains
The Raetihi Borough Council is going to get tough about residents \yho are continuing to abuse the borough 's sewerage system. Despite recent publicity in the media about the causes of these repeated blockages of the sewerage system, the drains continue to be blocked ... only last week another underground drain
was completely blocked by a solid lump of fat at the junction of King Street and Seddon Street. "We don't yet know where it's coming from said Mayor Garrick Workman, "but we sure intend to find out!" "It may be someone doing some home killing or rendering down carcasses
for dog-tucker but whatever it is we will soon know ... we have sent samples of it to the DSIR for analysis." "And when we find out who is responsible for blocking these drains and costing other ratepayers a great deal of money, we shall definitely prosecute ... the fine is a heavy one."
