SAN ANTONIO -- Several homeowners in a southwest San Antonio
neighborhood say they were not told their homes were built over an old
sewer treatment plant and are demanding the builder buy back the homes.
Residents in Stablewood Farms, some wearing radiation suits and gas
masks, were waving signs in protest on Monday outside the D.R. Horton
corporate officers. The residents claim there homes have foundation
problems and that there is often a foul smell in the neighborhood.
D.R. Horton said the lots in Stablewood Farms were already finished
when the company purchased the property near SW Loop 410 and Highway 90
around 2002. The sewer treatment plant had closed in 1992.
D.R. Horton said in a statement:
"It is our understanding that the treatment plant closed with
regulatory oversight from the state. In response to allegations from a
few concerned homeowners, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
and the Environmental Protection Agency initiated investigations. D.R.
Horton assisted in those investigations by providing information we
obtained from the developer and the owner of the treatment plant. Based
on the investigation, both the TCEQ and the EPA have advised D.R. Horton
that they have closed their files on this matter with no
recommendations or suggestions for any changes or remediation.
"The satisfaction of our homeowners is a top priority, and we
encourage any homeowner to contact us directly if they ever have
concerns with their home. D.R. Horton is committed to superior customer
service and providing families with quality homes and neighborhoods in
San Antonio."
