STAR-LEDGER ON BROKEN SEWER LINE SMELL

Star-Ledger on Sunday did a big write-up on the strange odors near Elmwood Avenue and Becker Terrace from a broken sewer line.

It sounds like a lot of government officials kicking the ball around and avoiding getting the job done to repair it.

The Ledger writes:


Andrea Pierre-Louis says the problem just plain stinks.
For three years, her family has been fighting to get rid of a stench wafting from a broken sanitary sewer line next door to their house near Elmwood Avenue and Becker Terrace in Maplewood.
The odor intensifies and becomes unbearable when the weather gets hotter — and this summer, she says, has been the worst by far.
Other residents say they have been holding their noses, too.
Neighbor Jazmin Oliva lives next to the sewer line — on the other side of Elmwood Avenue — and the 14-year-old describes it as "smelling like a dead dog."
So why doesn’t someone fix the sewer?
