Orangefield mother concerned about sewer leak

Ashley Thomas says that she is upset about the wastewater and has been plagued with the problem for more than a year.

ORANGEFIELD — The Orangefield mother of two children wrestles with wastewater leaking into her yard.

Ashley Thomas says that she is upset about the wastewater and has been plagued with the problem for more than a year.

She blames her next door neighbors and even posted a video of the wastewater on social media last week. The Orange County Health Department agrees that the sewage is coming from the neighbors broken septic tank.

"I just want the problem resolved so that I don't have to deal with the smell and have a safe environment for my children."

The health department says that the neighbors were notified Monday about the unsanitary runoff and have 30 days to fix the problem before they are fined.
