Since the drinking water supplied to the village came from the pipes running through the stream, the waste water mixed with the empty pipes from time to time during the water cut. Şehit Engin Şahin Primary and Secondary School, where approximately 200 students from 5 villages with bus systems were educated, was adversely affected by the creek full of sewage waste.

The residents said that although the stream, where the summer season and the intense drought were experienced, was completely full of sewage waste, the strong odor it emitted as well as the environmental pollution began to threaten human health. Villagers, who wanted to clean up the Cami stream, which ran across the borders of the village of Necatiye and the nearby villages of Köseömer and Naipyusuf and turned into an open sewer, said their health was seriously threatened during the coronavirus epidemic.
