Jake Lewis told ABC13 he was cutting through behind a movie theater complex on Holzwarth near Cypresswood on Wednesday morning when he saw a tanker truck with a hose running to a manhole. He took the video and sent it to his local Water Control and Improvement District No. 110. Soon, Harris County Precinct 4 deputy constables and other officials were on the scene. The truck had the name "Texas Pride Septic" on it."Human feces and other contaminants," Lewis answered. "Obviously, when you get your septic pumped, you're getting feces and other materials taken out of the tank, and they should be paying the appropriate people at the appropriate facility to dump it and not dump it out in the sewer system.
"The unauthorized dumping was halted immediately. Local law enforcement was notified. It is the understanding of Harris County WCID No. 110 that the Environmental Crimes Unit with Harris County Precinct 4 Constables is conducting an ongoing investigation."ABC13 went to Texas Pride Septic on Spring Stuebner, which was locked during business hours. No one answered or returned a call."The TCEQ Houston Region Office has not received information pertaining to this allegation.
