Broken Sewer Pipe In Aparment Complex In Foreclosure Making Life Uncomfortable For Tenants; Landlord Unavailable For Comment

In Mesa, Arizona, KPHO-TV Channel 5 reports:

• “We’re dealing with poop. Sorry to say that, but we’re dealing with poop,” said Mike McWilliams. The Mesa man is talking about a problem that’s been plaguing his apartment complex for two months. [...] Since January, raw sewage has spilled out of a pipe next to his apartment. “I can’t stand the smell,” he said. “With the wind blowing, I get drifts of it. We can’t sleep with the windows open because of the fact that it drifts into the house.”

• So far, McWilliams has had no luck getting the problem with the pipe fixed. The owner of the property went into foreclosure last month. County officials say they have had trouble tracking him down.
