Singbah is used by so many communities, naming some of them as Yarkpazuah Town, David Town, El-Town, David Barh Town etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throngtalk News Bureau established that residents from towns and villages in Bong also use the river which is a common boundary between Bong and Margibi Counties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Mr Singbah, since the EPA\u2019s mandate was given to the company, not a single day that anyone representing the company has ever been around to make efforts in giving them safe drinking water as they are still using the water to cook, drink, wash and take bath while Lee Group of Enterprises continues its pollution of the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said they do not have any other source of water apart from the Nyanfor River, stressing the need for a doctor to go and check them to know what the pollution of the water is causing their health. Expressing his disappointment in the company, he called on the government of Liberia through the EPA to still see the need to go to their aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be recalled the residents in 2024 alleged that the Lee Group of Enterprises which operates a rubber processing plant in Corneh Farm of Salala District in Bong County on the border of Margibi County rubber processing plant is discharging chemical waste and human feces from its septic tank into the Nyanfor &nbsp;River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Martha David, A Resident Washing In The Nyanfor River<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
