Residents from the Community<br />
Gardens Mobile Home Park attended a<br />
recent Pleasant Township board meeting<br />
to address concerns about water and<br />
sewage.<br />
According to the residents, this is a reoccurring<br />
problem that affects everyone who<br />
lives in the community. The problem has<br />
been going on for the last several years,<br />
first gaining attention when the park was<br />
accused of dumping raw sewage into the<br />
Darby River. The residents said now their<br />
sewage problems are worse than ever.<br />
Residents reported problems that<br />
include pink water coming out of their<br />
faucets, sewage backing up under mobile<br />
homes, and a lack of water pressure. Some<br />
residents reported that last year, they<br />
went an entire week without water and<br />
others said the sewer pumps do not support<br />
the number of mobile homes in the<br />
community.<br />
Residents have reported the issues to<br />
the park’s manager and maintenance staff,<br />
but they said no one has been able to find<br />
the owner.<br />
“We don’t know who to report it to.<br />
There is no one to call except the park<br />
manager. Everyone drops off money somewhere<br />
else. We already called the city and<br />
the county,” one resident said.<br />
Other residents shared concern for their<br />
children’s safety with large sewer trenches<br />
running through their backyards.<br />
“We have tried to find the proper routes<br />
to remedy this but the trailer park we stay<br />
at is refusing to do anything,” another concerned<br />
resident said.<br />
The trustees said that they would help<br />
the community get some answers.<br />
“We will start making phone calls<br />
tomorrow and track down somebody higher<br />
to deal with. There has to be someone to<br />
get a hold of,” board chairwoman Nancy<br />
Hunter said.<br />
The residents in the community wished<br />
to keep their names out of print for fear of<br />
retaliation.<br />

Georgio is a 10-yearold<br />
pit bull mix who is<br />
a little bit shy. He has<br />
been quiet and<br />
reserved at the shelter<br />
and may need<br />
time to adjust to a<br />
new home, or he may<br />
relax immediately<br />
and become more<br />
social. Georgio<br />
needs a person who is willing to let him come<br />
out of his shell at his own time. He has been at<br />
the county dog shelter for a while and is eager<br />
to find a loving home.<br />
