Dear Editor,
After experiencing a major fire every nine months in 10 years, it is obvious that a permanent pump house -- with its own generator -- must be built on the Riverton dump.
The sea water is free and the river water is free to be used also. All that is needed is to have two tanker trucks on location to saturate the site once every four months to prevent any combustion from arsonists or flint stones when the time is hot.
I do believe that there are Jamaicans who are benefiting whenever there is a major fire at the dump. Who provides heavy duty equipment to load dirt into those trucks? Who supplies the dirt? Who owns the trucks that transport the dirt to the site when there is a fire?
This is March 2015 decision makers in local government, must act now to prevent another fire by Christmas 2015.
