Raw sewage streams down Scots street twice in a week leaving locals disgusted

Scottish Water has issued an apology after “shocking” sewage which left locals feeling queasy appeared across an Aberfeldy street. A blocked sewer has, once again, caused a road drain to leak untreated sewage onto Taybridge Drive in the Highland Perthshire town.

Local Conservative councillor John Duff called on Scottish Water to investigate the problem as a matter of urgency. And his SNP counterpart Bailie Mike Williamson has also been pushing for greater intervention.

On at least three occasions since an initial incident was reported on February 23, raw sewage has been spewing out of the roadside drain, running along the street and pooling across the road nearby to Wades Bridge and the popular Black Watch Monument.
