Thousands of the Tempe homes could have critically-deteriorated sewage pipes underneath them, according to a map provided by the city. An expert said the problem could affect as many as "nine out of 10" homes in the area.
The pipes could cause massive sewage backups, repair bills and headaches for homeowners if they aren't signed up for a program looking to minimize the pain on residents' wallets and correct past mistakes.
