Stanford's best kept secret

Stanford lei-water used as a sewerage drain.

'The River runs through it' - Stanfords 'by line', is now a cess pit, and the residents of Stanford are to blame for it.

Tests show enterococci 400% over national limit at Stanford slipway.

A closer look at the following pictures will reveal one of the culprits. The culvert is found on the corner of Longmarket street and DuToit street. You will notice a black PVC pipe leading into the sump - i.e. running into the lei water canal. The water running in the picture shown, is sewerage water!

For a closer look at what effect this has to the river, scroll to bottom of page.

AND SUITABILITY FOR RECREATIONAL USE

* You dont need to be a Rocket Scientist to see that the Stanford slipway has exceeded the 'minumum requirement' (and 'unexceptable') category for Enterococci and E. coli by over 400% and 100% respectively and there are no health safety warning signs anywhere to be found on the river in Stanford that says

THE RIVER IS POLLUTED DO NOT SWIM
