Jail asks city aid to clean tanks

THE Cebu City Jail sought help from the city government to clean up the septic tank in their premises, saying it was filled well over capacity.

Jail Supt. Ma. Victoria Jimenez said their city jail is  reeking and its  foul odor is due to the overflowing septic tank, which services 2,044 inmates.

“This problem  always recurs because  the inmates’ population is getting bigger and bigger,” said Jimenez in a letter  to the City Council.

The council referred the request  to the public services committee for action.  Jimenez said she wants the septic tank cleaned  monthly.  Correspondent Edison delos Angeles
