More sewage spills

A BUSY CITY artery was closed and people attending businesses in a section of the historic Garrison area were stepping gingerly as more raw sewage flowed yesterday.

A release from the Ministry of Transport and Works announced yesterday afternoon that Spry Street, the road west of the Cathedral Church of St Michael and All Angels, was closed “until further notice as a result of a ruptured Barbados Water Authority sewage main”.

And while that ruptured main was spilling sewage into the City street, people in Shot Hall Gap, Bay Street, were also trying to avoid the sewage that was leaking from a man-hole into the parking area of the business district.

Please read the full story in today’s Saturday Sun, or in the eNATION edition.
