A multi-million-dollar initiative has been launched to tackle persistent sewage leakage in the Beetham Gardens community. During a visit to the work site today, Minister in the Ministry of Public Utilities, Clyde Elder said the introduction of new technology will ensure efficiency in WASA’s waste water system.

Minister in the Ministry of Public Utilities, Clyde Elder says the new technology employed in this project will adequately address the Water and Sewerage Authority’s leaking Waste Water plant in Beetham Gardens.

“What the contract will be doing is a special type of technology they will be using where instead of digging the earth from on top they’re going to more or less, my words now, drilling horizontally. And what that will entail is that they will be using equipment along with water to make the earth into a slushy and that is then going to be sucked out into a storage tank which is then going to be taken away. So it makes it easier for the traveling and the using public to continue to use the roadway.”
