Frozen sewage system sparks outrage in Livingston County

Teresa Richards, along with other residents in Livingston County have been going without a working sewage system for over a week.
"We have a porta potty that we've been using, take it into town to dump, we take showers at relatives. We can't cook or eat, can't wash dishes," says Richards.
According to a letter released by the Multi Lake and Sewer Authority, the valves that provide residents with water for their sewage system have frozen over. "The cold weather has caused (the) vacuum sewer system valves to freeze, which in turn prevents the main line sewer from functioning," says the letter.
Even though work crews have been working hard to restore the sewer service to its residents, the only solution residents are currently being told according to Teresa is warmer temperatures. That solution is not settling well, obviously.
