following…quote: It was reported in the Philadelphia Inquirer that Camden City and Gloucester City are the only two communities in Camden County that still mix storm water and sewage in one large pipe. If the system overflows when it rains, it floods sewage everywhere. 19 months later nothing has changed. Every time we have a heavy rain…the street begins to flood as Gloucester City Water Department has told me that they close the flood gates in order to let the water into the river at a slow pace. Well, the water that floods the street and fills that large pipe with storm water and sewage…backs up into the sewer line and out on to my basement floor. I have repeatedly had to clean up this raw sewage from my cellar floor with bleach water! Will Gloucester City ever be required to do what the other 35 communities in Camden County have done and fix this quandary? I am so sick of cleaning up other residents’ raw sewage….signed Anonymous
CHEER- May 5th, I lost my cell phone ! I went to the last place I was that morning and checked the WaWa parking lot, but no luck. I went inside and some good person had turned it in to one of the workers, I deeply appreciate that someone turned it in. Many thanks to you and to the people at the Bellmawr WaWa on Browning Road for taking care of it, Thanks so much !! John from Bellmawr.
CHEER- To the young man who saw me struggle to put my recycle bin on the curb and hurried to carry it for me. And we are in the BAD part of Gloucester City!
