St. Maarten Private Eye

To the writers above, Today I heard a most interesting story from a resident of Union Farm.
The resident tells the story that at night the smell of sewage is downright awful and people cannot sleep from the stench. The story goes that a large house that was turned into apartments is the cause.
The landlord opens the sewer when it rains and allows the nasty stuff to run down the roads with the rainwater. The landlord knows that his septic tank was built for a single family home and cannot accommodate the apartments now as it will regularly overflow. he does not enjoy paying the $100.- per truck to pump the sewage, so he has thought up this idea that whenever it rains, he just opens it up and people cannot see what is flowing down with the rainwater.
Now, I ask you, where was the building inspectors when this man changed his large home into apartments?
How can residents catch him in the act if he does this when it is raining and people don;t want to come out in the rainfall? And he seems to do this more often when it rains at night.
So you see, lots of pollution problems, and not much residents can do without government. Unless you propose that residents skin the man alive?
