So in other words, the disgustingly foul smell that is an everyday occurance at Papaloa Road and Kuhio was enjoyed my a wider swath of residents and visitors alike. Educated grown up, qualified humans, need to repair the obviously broken sewage treatment plant that has been permanently backed up since the road was redone for the back path crossing. Too bad there are no politicians that live down in that area.
Our island is a floating cesspool. We need to fix this problem soon or we will all be walking in sh%t soon enough.
The politicians should be the ones fixing the sewer problems with their bare hands, since they are already dirty in nature and should prove their commitment to public service!
