A Harris County grand jury has issued two felony indictments alleging a management company allowed raw sewage to flow from a southwest Houston apartment complex into Buffalo Bayou on two occasions earlier this year. 21, 2014 and on April 22 into city storm drains and then into Buffalo Bayou.
Residents in the 600 unit complex told local two news there had been problems earlier this year with sewage and toilet paper covering sidewalks in parts of the complex.
Resident Crystal Poling said on one occasion, It would come up almost to the door.
Sapatagonia everlong review kohlsrah McLemore has lived at the patagonia everlong review mazdacomplex for two yeapatagonia everlong review of goners. She said she stopped allowing her three and 4 year old daughters to walk on the sidewalk outside her apartment.
We don t let them walk around here even when it s dried up because they don t come to wash pavement off after, McLemore said.
In April, it was worse, and bad enough to cause a kill off of fish in the bayou; 2.7 million milligrams of E. coli per liter.
The apartments new manager, Jeri Hampton, said she was aware of an incident last January, before she was hired, that was caused by children removing sewer caps. She says since then, the management company has been diligent in preventing anymore sewage spills.
