Something Stinks In This Washington State HOA!
guest blog by Deborah Goonan
Ruth Crompton and her neighbors recently discovered that 7,000 gallons of raw sewage has been discharged into their storm sewer vault over the past 9 years. It seems that someone, presumably the defunct developer, mistakenly connected Crompton’s black sanitary sewer pipe to the white storm sewer drain. Big “Oops!” The error was recently discovered by the County’s Surface Water Management Division.
Crompton and her neighbors want to know why the County inspector signed off on the plumbing project at the time of construction. Not willing to accept responsibility, the County claims that perhaps a bad repair was made sometime after the County inspector approved the work.
