Ann Arbor Sewage Problem

Living in fear of sewage spills

Mary Zdrojkowski sat in her Parkwood Avenue house last week trying to hold back the tears. A month ago, a water main break in front of her Ann Arbor house sent raw sewage shooting out of her dishwasher, sinks, toilets and shower drains.

Her dishwasher was ruined. When the raw sewage came out through her sink, it got into the pots, pans and utensils. "Do you know what it is like to cook on Thanksgiving here?" she asked.


Zdrojkowski's neighbor David Stroud had a water main break in front of his home last year. The sanitary sewer main was infiltrated with dirt and mud and raw sewage backed up into his home.

"The shower and toilet were just spewing out green things," Stroud said. "The smell was just incredible."

"We are wondering when it is going to happen again."


Sewage was everywhere

Zdrojkowski opened the door to her basement and took a visitor on a tour of the path of the raw sewage.

"It was pouring down here," she said, pointing to the stairs she was walking down.

"It was pouring down here," she said, pointing to a wooden cabinet in the basement.
