400 Kms Illegal Sewers Found in Sofia

Politics | July 1, 2006, Saturday // 00:00

Experts from Sofia's water supply company "Sofiyska Voda" have detected over 400 kilometers of illegal sewerage, media reported.

Some of the drains built about ten years ago are in very poor condition as they were constructed hastily, with contractors skimping on quality, Sofiyska Voda have told private Darik radio. The faulty construction of these sewers is the reason why they clog up every time it starts raining.

Constructions have eaten away most of the capital's green fields and now all of the water finds its way to the streets, the experts say. Many companies present a problem as they dump their waste in the open and it later clogs the drains.
