Oh God! The heartbreak of septic tankuriasis!

Start spreading the news. I'm leavin' today ..." sorry
============================



Affordable dream homes in Jackson County have turned into messy nightmares, thanks to failing septic tank systems.

Residents of Ocean Beach Estates continue to face problems with toilets that won't flush and raw sewage that backs up into houses.

It's an ongoing problem that involves the Health Department, Jackson County government and local building contractors.

Neighbors on Peach Street swap stories about sewage. They try to keep a sense of humor about it, but the aggravation and expense of failing septic tank systems is pushing their patience. Residents are looking for answers and finding only frustration.

"Our problem started when we started having standing water, septic water, on the side of the house," said Brian Clark, as he explained the years old sewage problem.
