Hundreds pack Maumee meeting, furious about sewer inspection ordinance

The newly mandated inspection, she said, resulted in an order to do $46,500 worth of work to comply with city regulations: $20,000 to replace a clay pipe in the house’s sewer feed, and $26,500 to put a sump pump in its unfinished basement. “I literally started crying in the driveway. How did I get in this mess?” Ms. Savage-McNamara told The Blade before a community meeting she organized Monday evening to dig into Maumee’s new inspection rules and brainstorm ways they might be changed.
