8/22 - 10/07
18 days of sewage approximately 7ft x 4ft on my lawn between bedroom (office) & bathroom windows. Just a few feet from my office window, the stench was overwhelming & nauseating.
- 8/22: a pipe from neighbor's unit to septic tank broke;
- 8/24: pipe re-connected by off the books plumber, Kurt
- 8/30: Kurt returned, fiddled with the pipe & left. Sewage continued to spew.
- 9/03: Sent letter (excerpt)
to Five Skies including statement that sewage had been on my lawn since 8/22.
- 9/06: My letter to Five Skies LLC was received
via USPS priority mail.
- 9/08: Sewage was on still on my lawn, i.e., 18 days.: Kurt hosed sewage into the lawn & connected the outdoor water tap. Bleach should have been applied per DSPS code, but was not done.
The pipe was not properly capped when I moved in; it was covered with a very old & cracked/broken Folger's coffee canister.
- 10/04 I wrote to the Wood County Depart of Health to ask who was in charge of water quality.
- 10/07 Kurt reappeared to repair the pipe cap to code 47 DAYS from broken pipe 8/22.
- This work was done by the same off the books plumber, Kurt Wilkinson, who replaced some or maybe all of the pipes in my unit without a permit. Is it to code? Can't know as no permit = no inspection
- Neither he nor Five Skies made any attempt to assess the iron problem or correct the iron content of the water that flowed from every tap every day from since I moved in on 4/27.
