The White Elephant or Ahabs White Whale You Decide!

As stated in previous post this author had obtained a file concerning property owned or managed by Huber Rentals and then Justice of the Peace Jonathan Huber. The White Elephant Apartments is a residential apartment complex located in Clark County, Arkansas more precisely 4090 HWY 67S Arkadelphia.

In the time frame from August 15, 2008 to April 10, 2009  the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality or ADEQ, Clark County Health Unit contact Mr. Huber in regards to a  “…severe existing sewage malfunction while several people are living in these apartments. The situation creates a substantial public health risk…”  “…that raw, untreated sewage is discharging on the ground from structures at the above location. This is a violation of Arkansas Law, and could pose a significant public health risk for the occupants at this location and people in vicinity….”

After numerous attempts to reach Mr. Huber for his “ immediate attention” (emphasis in original) according to the file Mr. Huber failed to respond with in the allotted time to the point that consideration of actions being taken as Mr. Huber’s “… continued lack of cooperation in this matter could subject…” him “… to formal enforcement action. Such action could include but would not be limited to monetary civil penalties…” and that parties would “…file charges through the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office and notify Gum Springs Water of the situation, so they may evaluate whether or not to disconnect water service to this location. …” And to think these peoples services we in jeopardy, for Mr. Huber lack of response, sound like a very familiar story. You can see the full pdf. file as prepared by ADEQ at the link below. As well there are photos attached from the file.
