WHILE the sewage spill affecting the uMhlanga Lagoon has been fixed, three more spills have been identified by the uMhlanga Urban Improvement Precinct (UIP). Residents have urged the City to take urgent action over the leaks which they say is a health hazard. In a statement on their Facebook page, the UIP said they were aware of the spills.
