Several called plumbers out and they quickly realized there was more to it. Now, raw sewage can be seen running down the street and at some homes, sewage is bubbling up in the yard.
"The smell is awful. It takes over the entire house," said resident John Tanory. "You can light 13 candles. It smells like a sewage plant."
City officials say crews will be out tomorrow to begin work on a broken sewer line, and residents can expect it to reek of sewage until it is completely repaired.
