Shawntay Manuel said she’s lived in Council Trails apartments for five years and has never had an issue of water and sewage seeping through the floor of her apartment.

These photos are from April this year when the problem started.

“We just came in the house and it was just water everywhere. It was stinking. And then all of a sudden it was started to back up in our showers. It was poop in there,” said Manuel.

She said maintenance fixed it temporarily, but water seeped through again in May.

That’s when she said she asked maintenance, “what’s going on?”
