Description

Area between N Betty Lane, State Street,Chenango Ave,and Sunset Point Road smells of RAW SEWAGE, on some days more than others, depending on the wind. Also, properties in this area are experiencing SEWER RATS,both outside their houses in yards, and even inside when unknown holes are present in roofs, etc. This photo was taken in the last month. It is a sewer rat, which died shortly after caged, and was not poisoned. These rats carry diseases, which affect humans, neurologically, and otherwise. The "Sanitary Sewer Project" of 2013 in this area was a disaster,with many properties having pipes redone after numerous complaints. Public records will show that many of the both inhabited and vacant properties NEVER had final inspections completed. Residents became immune to the smell after a period of time;however, others who visited in the area smelled the sewage,including Pinellas county employees. This complaint is going to local media investigative reporters as well today, as previous reports have been ignored, and/or answered incompletely. No matter when this project completed, officially, or by what contracted company,Pinellas county residents,Clearwater residents,and others have been and are continuing to be harmed silently, through no fault of their own. In camera sewage line inspections do not account for the septic tanks which were "abandoned"or left in the area, improperly. Some residents have expressed fear at complaining. This complaint is anonymous, but only for now.
