All the water is in our neighborhood

Gosh, a company and a hospital, plus rich people pumped or dumped (don't know the term) their water down to us, so our place looks like a sea now- in some parts the water has reached the waist... The water has become dirty already and we have no idea when things will return to normal. Maybe one or two weeks wouldn't be enough- some scary insects and worms have been popping up everywhere since they can't breathe anymore underground.. people have been using rafts to cross too.. I hpe they would stop.

Oh, that's bad. What's the matter with these people, they want their place to be free from water without thinking what could be the results of their actions. So now your place is flooded, I think you should call the attention of the local officials in your area, so they can do something about it.

You need to complain about this thing to your local authorities, this is so wrong. Dirty water can lead to so many health concerns. some thing definitely needs to be done about all this.

That's not good! Yes, they should stop... their water should not stucked on your place in the first place. Your local government should do something about it. Go and get some help...

If that is the case, then document the flood and use it as evidence to complain for your mayor or barangay captain to act, so that next time it won't happen again, my friend.

That is so sad to hear. You should have a proper action about it. You should let the government be aware of the disaster brought by the pumping and dumping of those people. I hope that you are okay and your family there.

This is a serious problem as people around your neighborhood might get sick. The government should try and help in taking care of this situation and help in removing the water from your area. If the government is not responding...make groups and volunteer and help solve the problem. If the water is stagnant, it will give rise to a lot of mosquitoes and it may cause diseases like malaria. So please take a call soon. You cant say what might happen.

I think you can complaint your current problem to the government or you can bring the kind attention of media to this problem. I think this surely solve your problem and make your environment good. Note if you people do not take thet proper actions it will surely affect the health of you people.
