Cedar Road Sewage Flooding Not Acceptable

David Hewick, from Broughty Ferry Community Council, has being kicking up a fuss with Scottish Water about regular flooding at the southern end of Cedar Road near its junction with Forthill Road. 

While the temporary flooding is bad enough, his prime concern is more about what is being washed along with the run off of rain water. When the levels of flood water recede there is a nasty smell from human sewage and used toilet paper in the road. 

Despite notifying Scottish Water on numerous occasions and sending in pictures as evidence there has been no resolution from them. This is totally unacceptable. This is a serious public health issue and must be resolved. 

There are also wider questions about the capacity of our drainage system in Broughty Ferry. If the current system can't cope, what will things be like when even more homes are built and linked into the sewage and drainage system?
