MOUNT VERNON, New York (WABC) Angry homeowners in Mount Vernon are blasting the city over its response to a raw sewage leak that has flooded several homes and businesses. It s absolutely ridiculous, says Wayne Fletcher. I don t know how much more of this I can take any more.
The sewer lines below 3rd Street between 7th to 13th Avenues have been a trouble spot for years.
Blockages occur where two 24-inch pipes feed into a connector that s only 10 inches wide. The sewage is not from my house, it s like from hundreds of my neighbor s houses. If that s not a health risk and a hazard, I don t know what is, says Fletcher.
