Back in late December, a sewage leak erupted on the corner of Bonaire Boulevard and South Shore Street in the Bayside subdivision and caused raw sewage to flood Bonaire Boulevard.

It flooded our whole street, said Bayside resident Ben Martin, who expressed concern for his familys health and safety.

That afternoon my daughter came home with her soiled clothes in a bag, he continued. She had to change clothes at a neighbors.

Martin added that the school bus drops off kids at the same corner where the sewage leak occurred, causing some of them to come in contact with the material.

South Walton Utility Co., Inc. in Miramar Beach was contacted shortly after and fixed the sewer leak.

Martin said that instead of cleaning up the sewage, the utility company poured hydrated lime on the street and driveways to treat the sewage that remained.

Since the incident, Martin added that the lime and sewage has become a nuisance for residents on Bonaire.

Kids play every day on the street and people try to walk their dogs. It's hard to believe that this is the appropriate response for a sewage spill, said Martin.

Many residents have tried hosing their driveways and the street, but most of the lime and sewage still remains.

Martin said that some of his neighbors have called to complain about the clean-up but have not received a response.
