Dear Editor,
I have lived in St Marys for the past 14 years and have always walked up Richardsons Road past the recently drained dam. I understand the dam was drained because of one complaint to TasWater that the water was gushing down the creek. I have never seen the creek gushing! I rang TasWater, then the Council, and was told that a platypus put a hole in the structure. It’s concrete! Maybe I am wrong but I find this ridiculous. The Council told me they won’t reconsider refilling the dam till they know the structure is sound.
So are we indefinitely left with this dangerous smelly eyesore? And of course no one considered the poor animals and birdlife that drink and live at the dam.
Kate Almond, St Marys
