When Van der Leeuw came home last Wednesday, it was wrong. “I thought my children had left the tap on, but the whole house was under water.” She called the emergency service of the Alliance, but did not get any help, she says. That is why she lives temporarily with her children in her sister’s studio. “It is impossible to do, it’s too tight.” Back home is not an option for her: “All my furniture is ruined, there is shit water everywhere.”
A spokesperson for the Alliance announced that he has no insight into the cause of the sewerage problem. It is also unclear why it is not a solution a few months ago. The housing corporation now says it wants to find a solution as quickly as possible and to understand the anger of the resident, but indicates that they are unable to get in touch with her. Van der Leeuw contradicts that. According to her, the housing corporation only calls when they are at the door when she is not at home.
