Unbearable stench

Almost two weeks ago, on 1/5/24, residents of Yakinton Street in Haifa began to smell the stench of sewage rising around their residences. The residents, who began searching for the source of the smell, discovered that in the wadi below the houses there is a pool that was drained from sewage water. With this discovery, they contacted the municipality hotline, from where their complaint was directed to the Carmel Water Corporation.

He said they would take care of it and left

One of the residents told Lahi Pa: "When we contacted the hotline, a representative from 'Mi Carmel' arrived who claimed that the hazard was not within their area of ​​responsibility. The residents contacted 'Mi Carmel' again, this time directly. They sent another representative who came to the scene, took a picture and said that the matter would be taken care of. Since then Almost two weeks have passed and the situation remains unchanged and we are suffering."

The smell intensifies as it gets hotter

The residents are furious about the failure to treat the hazard, which forces them to live for so long in the disturbing stench and without any solution in sight. The strength of the smell, they say, even gets worse as the weather warms up, and they fear the damage that may be caused to their health, this is in addition to the flies and mosquitoes that multiply with each passing day and the wild boars that are attracted to the place.

Haifa Municipality's response to the complaint of Yakinton residents

Update by Mi Carmel for Monday, 13/5/24

The corporation has completed on-site treatment. After a slight leak was detected in a tangled and inaccessible area. Special work was required to locate the fault, including photographing the line. The hazard was caused by wipes that were thrown into the sewer system. The corporation is again asking residents to refrain from throwing tissues into the sewer system.

  1. Surrendered to their hatred of innocent creatures, they let a bunch of people with agendas lead them by the nose, with the kind help of a bunch of disgruntled whiners who played on fear and ignorance, now they are surprised that they got a council and a mayor who put a band on everyone and only care about their own political ass, their realtor friends and cronies to the plate.
    They had the opportunity to choose people who resist them, or at least those who try, and that's what they chose, instead they preferred to poke a finger in the eye. Successfully

  2. Promises separately and performance separately
    This is what they promised in the elections...
    Want to see results

  3. In Kiryat Ata there are also mosquitoes even in winter
    And Selah Shalom Street became a parking lot for trucks!!!!

  4. Haifa has always been involved and smelly. Now the pigs have also been added to this and all 3 types of populations give the sad result.

  5. Bumps in the roads are not surprising in Sed. Cleanliness is beyond criticism. The trees growing towards the street over the pedestrians' heads are not pruned enough and the dirt is also scattered around the bins waiting to be collected, so when will they wake up here and do something about it?

  6. How are there always people on the right (like Keren) who are unprepared for the brain?

    • What is the connection left?! It is not that he has the authority to return Judea and Samaria

  7. 1. Why can't the municipality / know / able / is allowed to forward the complaint to the Carmel Water? and inform the complainant that this will be done? (even if Carmel Water is not subject to the municipality)
    2. Inquiries of this type are recommended to be made in writing against delivery confirmation with a copy to the Ministry of the Interior and more...

  8. by the way. A son who is happy walks around freely and calmly like an adult pig in the morning and evening every day, all day long, Tabenkin Silver is parked... and apart from reacting oops and obnoxious and taking pictures - no one complains to the municipality
    or public inquiries.

  9. The sewage is a human product, the poor pigs just come to look for food and water after humans drove them out of their living areas. Man is the most harmful and smelly animal there is.

  10. Ann, nothing helps in the city, contact the Ministry of Health, this is a very dangerous hazard, and the new mayor sleeps not only from her deputies who are terrorist sympathizers, but also allows ceremonies on Memorial Day for terrorists under the auspices of the "Palestinian" council member, on his behalf, and does not really take care of anything to improve the lives of the residents and the hazards, and the neglect continues Even after 5 years of simply suffering in hell!

  11. It was clear that when Yahav was elected, he would simply not do anything. What's the point of trying - after all, he won't run in the next elections. A direct continuation of the activity of the previous mayor (can't remember her name).

  12. The Carmel Water Corporation is a useless body with parasites living on public money. To close.

  13. Cliché damage in the corruption she did in Carmel Water To this day it takes time to repair the Cliché damage

  14. Fill buckets and throw the smelly sewage at the entrance of the municipal offices in Hassan Shukri.
    They are currently busy with "professional" vacations in hotels and additional car expenses and a celebration of raising standards.
    Throw the sewage in their offices. The main stench is from the municipality.

  15. Etzioni signed with the ultra-Orthodox in the run-up to the elections and thus in effect crowned Yahav as mayor. Lihav has no fear that her name will not be re-elected next time because of his age... and thus once again Haifa is promiscuous...

  16. In Wadi Azov, right on the walking route, sewage flows. Right under the houses, into the Hoadi. Sewage flows in the sea. The streets are flooded with garbage. Not the pigs fault, but the people.

  17. Whoever wants the pigs should raise them and take care of them at home.
    There are normal people here who want to live...
    Grow lions too, I have no problem,
    But at home!
    It's amazing what people live here.
    Kalish's friends

  18. Mr. Yahav…..
    We went through five bad and difficult years,
    We chose you to change…..
    It doesn't suit us another five years of my past life.

  19. What do wild boars have to do with sewage?? Sewage is connected to humans!!! Why use every moment to hurt and incite against these wonderful creatures. They are sensitive, smart and harmless. The heartless creature that pollutes every good plot and plots to murder and kill is man. Shame on you complainers...just assume To these poor pigs

    • Another one who "knows" how to hate people and host a pig in her house! To Tabaki in your soul, atonement for you! 🤦

  20. Does it bother you that the wild boars are roaming around here as well? This is in Wadi, this is their natural environment! What do wild boars have to do with every article you put up? Haven't you done enough damage by encouraging their indiscriminate murder?

    • These, these! Go out and learn about your harm to humans.
      Both you and your ilk - all you want is to get close, whine, get poor
      and…. Take advantage, take advantage, take advantage!!
      🤬

  21. Why would they work if they have already received the property tax..

    • What are the wild boars related to? This is their natural environment, aren't they allowed to be in Wadi too? Haven't you done enough damage by encouraging their indiscriminate murder?

  22. Why will they work if they have already received the property tax...

  23. I would like to thank the team living here, Langa Karmi and Samar Odeh, who helped me. Without their help, the Carmelites would not have arrived today and found the problem. Be strong and continue the mitzvot.
