Many houses in the Third Street corridor of Mount Vernon are dealing with a gross problem -- raw sewage. But the issue isn't a new one, neighbors say.
Wayne Fletcher says the problem goes back years, causing consistent cleanups.
"I literally had to pick up a bucket of sewage out of my sock three days in a row," says Fletcher.
Fletcher says it has only gotten worse, so he's been calling the Department of Public Works for weeks begging for help, but to no avail.
