During a recent government meeting, community members raised urgent concerns regarding ongoing sewage issues affecting residential properties in Hawthorne Court. A resident highlighted the detrimental impact of airborne particles and sewer gas infiltrating homes, particularly affecting individuals with respiratory conditions such as COPD.

The resident, speaking on behalf of concerned homeowners, emphasized the need for immediate action to address the sewage flow, which has been a persistent problem. They noted that while temporary solutions, such as rubber mats, have been implemented, these measures do not resolve the underlying issue of sewage contamination.

The resident called for the local government to utilize existing regulations to condemn the affected properties, thereby halting the sewage flow until a permanent solution can be found. They expressed frustration over the lengthy timeline provided by county officials for rectifying the situation, which could extend for weeks or even years.

The meeting underscored the community's urgent plea for relief to ensure the health and safety of residents, as they seek to enjoy their homes without the threat of sewage exposure. The discussion is set to continue as more residents are invited to voice their concerns on this pressing issue.
