Description

2 doors away from us, the neighbors' sewer line is leaking. There is feces and toilet paper running over the curb and into the street. There are children and pets in the area that are coming into contact with this mess. We called L&I, the water department, the health department, the streets department and our city councilman. This has been going on for about 3 months with no fix being done. We have been told so many rediculous things such as "it's not a problem if you don't sitck your face in it" "it happens to everyone in the city". We have also been told by the water department that the water service will be shut off to the house. We were told this many times starting about a month ago but this has not been done. We also have spoken with the neighbor and we got threatened by them.
With the weather getting warmer it is beginning to smell like a sewer along the sidewalk.
In addition to it being plain nasty, I know, as a Microbiologist, that there is a problem with someone possibly getting sick without "sticking their face in it" as we were told.
Is there any agency who cares?
This is not the first time we have had issues with these departments.
