Dear Sir,

Sub: Blockage in sewer pipes and overflowing of sewage water through manhole chamber in HBR 5^thblock. Ward-24

This is to inform you that sewage water is overflowing thro’ manhole chamber (no lid found) at 19^thmain in HBR 5^th block, near KEB transformer. The overflowing sewage water is running on the road and has gone up to 39^th cross. As we brought this matter to your notice on 7^th, Monday, 2 scavengers came on the next day itself and tried to remove the blockage manually. Since they couldn’t clean the choked sewer, we were told that jetting machine has to be brought to clean the pipes. Therefore, we request you to kindly arrange for the super sucker/jetting machine immediately and remove the blockage. Otherwise the whole area is going to stink.

We also would like to bring to your kind notice that it has been observed the sewer pipes get clogged very often and sewage water overflows through manhole chamber and run onto the road creating foul smell and causing hardship to the residents.  

The sewer pipes 9” of size were laid long back when the number of houses in this layout were very less and since the number of houses is increased to many folds and many more sewer pipes from adjacent areas are connected to the 19^th main pipe, it is not sustaining the large volume of sewage water running in this pipe, that causes overflow. Another reason being, as you know very well that at many places the chambers’ manhole lids are either not placed properly or damaged; and in some cases the chamber’s mouth itself got damaged. 

Hence, we request you to kindly look into the matter like replacing the broken lids, repairing the chamber’s mouth, cleaning/de-silting of sewer pipes and laying of bigger size pipes at 18^th and 19^th mains to have smooth flow of water before the out break of dengue or malaria in our area.

Thanking you

With warm regards
