PEOPLE living on Lancing's Hasler Estate have had to put up with sewage on its roads after a main sewer collapsed.
Southern Water engineers have been working day and night to pump out the sewage and repair the sewer, in West Way, for more than a week.
Boundary Road resident Malcolm Brett, who sent us these photographs, said: "Most of the waste is being pumped into tankers 24 hours a day, but when the tankers are not there the sewage flows into the streets and they are awash with it.
"I think we are going back to the dark ages when it was customary to find sewage flowing down the gutter."
A Southern Water spokeswoman told the Herald on Tuesday, April 1: "Engineers have been on site round the clock to find the break, repair the problem and keep the flows down, but have been hampered by the limited time they can work between sea tides.
"Nature has thrown everything against us, including high tides and rain getting into our excavation."
On Wednesday, April 2, she added the sewer in West Way had been repaired, and Southern Water staff were due to visit residents to give them an update on the situation.
