Just heard on the local news that the problem is that Longview city workers hooked her sewer line into a saltwater disposal line two years ago.

A salt water disposal line takes the saltwater after it is separated from the oil at the well site and sends it to a pit and is either trucked or piped to an old well or a specially drilled saltwater disposal well.

Apparently, this is the first instance of a failure at the separater and allowed oil to flow with the saltwater. The lighter oil floated up through the drains and flooded her home.

Her sewage has been going into the saltwater disposal system since her sewage system was installed.

Mayor Murry Moore said that the city would cover the cost of damages.

Well things do happen..... I suspect the mess will be a big job to clean up as I would think the oil would have penetrated into the slab assuming it is a concrete slab..... I know of one instance where in a small community where the water department got the sewer line crossed with the potable water to a home.... people were getting sick, etc...
