I DON?T know who is mistaken, either the residents of Lydford or your reporter, but sewerage doesn?t smell (Villagers get tough over smell, September 28). It?s the sewage that causes the problem, i.e. the stuff that we produce. The sewerage is the overall system of pipes (sewers) that carries the sewage away. It?s a simple enough distinction, but even the local water company seems not to understand and sends me bills for ?Water and Sewerage?, so I suppose there?s some excuse for your newspaper.
