This does happen a lot but it doesn't usually make the news.

House with 30 Mexican illegal aliens overloads septic tank so they
put in pipe to nearby stream--neighbors are afraid of being labeled
racists if they fail to show tolerance for "Mexican culture" that
allows dumping human waste in streams and the City of Sea-Tac, also
afraid of being labelled racists, spends weeks ignoring problem.

Google Topix and then type in Sea-Tec, WA and you will find the start of a discussion, House with 30 Mexican illegal aliens overloads septic tank.

I am using Topix to get my point across on issues. It is free and a lot of people look at them.

SeaTac neighbors raise stink over sewage pipe

10:58 PM PDT on Friday, August 24, 2007

By GARY CHITTIM / KING 5 News



The homeowners say they put in the pipe to keep sewage from backing up into their home from a failing sceptic tank. SEATAC, Wash. - King County Health inspectors are planning to look into complaints about a sewage pipe that's discharging water into a drainage ditch.

A viewer notified KING 5 of an illegal sewage pipe coming from a neighbor's home.

The pipe can be clearly seen discharging fluid into the ditch between the two homes.

The owners of that home, who speak little English, told KING 5 they put in the pipe to bypass a failing septic system that was backing up into their home.

But discharging raw sewage is illegal and poses a serious bacterial threat to people living near the trench which ultimately drains into Des Moines Creek.

A spokesman for the family tells KING 5 the family now understands the situation and is looking for financing for an expensive septic tank replacement.

Health inspectors were scheduled to inspect the pipe Friday night.
