    Perhaps we should do a clean-up and dump it at their beautiful offices reception door.

    But will that help though? I doubt it .....

    Okay.

    E-mails alone wont do the trick. Petitions, letters to the leader boards, TV-programs (as ESA already have done) and more might make them think about it. But for them to put the thinking into action it will take more than a national epidemic to start it up.

    If a local private guy wont start it on its own, it will never happen.
    So in short like I said, NEW LEADERSHIP....

    I know they are trying to get it clean but we are not seeing any results at this stage. I think it is a huge task to get it clean again and I remember when they started of the project of cleaning the dam 2-3 years ago they said we should not expect to see results in the first couple of years. Lets hope they are right and that they could get Harties back to a clean and healthy state in the future.

    The link below is some info on what they are trying to do at harties.

    Unhappy Harties

    Hi Guys. I watched some of the ESA this morning and from what I can make out there are squatters at the dam that shouldn't be living there, and they mentioned that there were something like 5 different sewerage pipes or lines flowing into Harties which were supposed to have been rectified years ago. I really don't think they will do anything as it doesn't affect them in any way. If I remember correctly Gary Peters said he doesn't water ski at Harties any more because the times when he has fallen off he has come out in a rash, thats how toxic it is. They had a similar thing on Carte Blanche about the sewerage plant they were supposed to build about 5 years ago below the barrage on the Vaal, and the bottom line was they did nothing even though they had the funds allocated,apparently because they couldn't find a black empowered company to do the work. may be Carte Blanche might be interested in bringing this to the notice of the public in general or put pressure on water affairs to do something. I know they are shipping water into Harties residents because they can't drink the local water.
