Front page of the 06-11-04 Examiner: Historic soaker not City Hall’s problem. In 2015, the City continues to neglect the residents’ plea for solutions.

How would you like to walk down your front door to this? A river of sewage caused by the 2004 sewer failure, only to be repeated several more times through 2015.

This poor puppy was a fatal victim of the 2004 flooding caused by the sewer failure.

Cars submerged in raw sewage in 2004.

That’s how high raw sewage spewed from inside and outside this home. 12-03-14

The amount of force caused by the sewer failure damaged this garage door twice – on 12-03-14 and again on 12-11-14.

Raw sewage levels reach this Ford Escape pass the bumper on 12-03-14. Needless to say this owner lost this SUV ? (Total two vehicles lost for this owner – first in 2004 then this one in 2014)

The raw sewage pressure caused this house foundation to crack on 12-03-14.

12/14/14 – Over the weekend is a fountain in the middle of Howth, which is a hillside, not even the bottom of any elevation. Totally crazy!

30+ years of irreplaceable memories lost from sewer failure residents. There have been more than three major floodings since 2004 without clear solutions from SFPUC. Residents are rightfully frustrated.

Clean up crew at the 12-03-14 sewer failure flooding.

Sandbags do not help when they float from extreme sewage water pressure. This was from the second flooding on 12-11-14.

Elderly and children have been left without heat since 12-03-14! Nearly all property claims have been denied, including those looking for furnace and water heater replacements.

Sunken sidewalks caused by the sewer system failure. The City of San Francisco tell residents this is their problem to fix.

Contaminated sandbags continue to sit outside homes. These have been here since 12-03-14. SFPUC’s number one suggestion to help residents: sandbag distribution.

A break in the sky the day after the sewer failure flooding. This tow truck hauled at least 30 damaged cars on 12-03-14.

This whole area smelled like sewer and the debris was extensive.
