Raw Sewage

By Beverly Henson

We have had problems with our sewage system since April 2012.  We have repeatedly asked the landlord to fix the issue and have had several different plumbers come out and snake the line, however, they have ALL said that the line out is not only the wrong type of material, but it is collapsing in on itself and the line is also broken at about 25 feet.  In order to keep the sewage out of the house, we opened the clean out pipe and it overflows into our back yard rather instead.  The Landlord is refusing to correct this issue, because it’s too pricey. We have been told that this is quite illegal and are wondering if there is any legal recourse that we could have.  We live in Lawton, OK.  Any advice would be wonderful :)  Thanks!
