Foamy Water in the Canal

In the Buckingham canal at a few places we have noticed the water released out is creating foams on the surface. We were checking with the local residents on the same, it is the untreated sewerage water. As per the norms any water that is released into an open canal must be treated with necessary chemicals to ensure that the released water is free from any hazards to the people living in the area.
They were also saying that it will be stinky in the morning and due to which the mosquitoes would be high resulting in the spreading of the infection. The local authorities are also taking enough attention to look into the problem which is assuming dangerous in terms of the health problems. The authorities need to look into the treatment of the water being released and also frequent mosquito elimination treatment in the area on the Canal Road – Dr. Arignar Anna 1st Street.
We hope that we have brought to the notice of the local authorities for the quick solution to the problem.
