This new lawsuit shows raw sewage is being dumped onto the ground.

Neighbors said they've smelt the discharge many days.

The lawsuit shows Gomez piped sewage from her mobile home onto the ground. That has continued, despite notices, for more than a year.

The county said the discharge is “made possible by an illegal water supply” from another home.

The other home also had “a malfunctioning septic system.”
