Northern Farm Sludge dumping

Recommended Posts

I am disgusted by the lack of hygiene and care taken by Northern Farm.

Joburg Water use the property to dump human effluent they cannot push through their overworked digesters.

This is both a health hazard and a serious stink affects riders by the hundred.

They are supposed to spread it and then plough it in to the ground.

Instead they leave huge piles of **** lying around....!!!

My intention is to petition Joburg Water to do something about it.

Please add your name to the list and I will forwards to the CEO.

Aren't we, as mountain bikers, guests on the farm? Dont think a petition or a rant session is the best way to get resolve in this situation.

There are a couple of piles on the Farm. Near the perimeter dirt road into Hills and Dales.

I would insert an image but it has no URL it is on my hard drive.

I was on the committee with Simon and I know it is like hitting your head getting somewhere with Joburg Water.

Last time they did it, I caused a print article and they resolved the issue.

Maybe I should get the press involved again......

I think it is simply laziness or bad planning or **** attitude to hygiene.

@ Klaus - so what do you suggest?

I think you should maybe call the chaps involved with organising the MTB entry and discuss the problem with them. A rant session in the press is just going to cause us to lose another MTB spot (although a smelly one at this point)

 

I see the MTB offering at Northerns as a small sideline and not on the big priorty list for the operators of the farm.

 

Call the farm itself and discuss it with them or just vote with your wallet and go somewhere else.
