Overflowing sewage in the streets
TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) -A man whose toilet hasn’t flushed for several days discovers that his sewage issues are not just affecting him
He says he’s fed up and just wants a working toilet.
Charles Mullikin, a resident at an apartment complex on Douglas near Alexis Road, can’t use his toilet and resorts to going to the Speedway gas station to use the bathroom.
Mullikin says, “It’s been over a week and it’s kind of getting out of control.”
He says the cause is backed-up sewage from another apartment that is also experiencing sewage problems.
He called management and didn’t hear back.
“They could at least respond or send somebody out here. This is a health issue kinda,” Mullikin says.
The sewage has now overflowed, remains of toilet paper and feces are now running down Douglas Road for a block.
Neighbor Maggie Keefe said,”We noticed the water this past week flowing down I thought somebody has busted pipes.”
Keefe now has a stream of water in front of her home after Charles told her why she worries for the safety of her family and pets. “If you’re walking your dog out here you’re going to think somebody is draining something to find out that there’s feces and urine in that water...makes me just want to call the city,” Keefe said.
Maggie and Charles hope management will fix the backed-up sewage not only for them but others who need help.
13abc called the apartment owners KIT Management and left a voicemail. We’re waiting to hear back.

Talks are well underway in preparation for the next major international meeting on climate change, 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28), scheduled to begin Nov. 30 in the United Arab Emirates.
Much like last year’s COP27, finances — specifically, aid to developing nations — will be at the center of conference deliberations.
The conference faces an even greater sense of urgency brought on by the Sept. 8, 2023, release of the first global stocktake, which calls for accelerated action to meet the goals set in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement (COP21).
