Residents raise alarm over sewer overflows in Camps Bay
Cape Argus
|May 15, 2025
RESIDENTS of Little Glen in Camps Bay claim recurring overflows from the sewer system have contaminated the Blinkwater Stream (next to the Camps Bay Tidal Pool) for years due to the City's inaction.
The City has since indicated that they need to investigate the claims before delivering a response.
The matter has reached the attention of councillor Karl Bodin of the Cape Independence Party (CapeXit), who has responded to residents' concerns, that they are alarmed by the environmental damage to a nature reserve and potential health risks from the stench.
Residents had called on Bodin to intervene.
