NORTH TONAWANDA, N.Y. (WIVB) — Officials in the City of North Tonawanda in upstate New York and residents of one quiet neighborhood in the city are seeking answers to a strange and disgusting situation that they’ve been dealing with for weeks.

For over a month, residents on Alice Street say they have dealt with several instances of fecal matter raining from the sky and hitting several homes. Resident Gwen Eichler told News 4 she is concerned about letting her dogs out at times and had to get a power washer to clean up the mess.

“There’s nothing left to see except for my Facebook post, which have been prevalent ’cause when I first put it up first time, everybody went ‘What?’ Put it up a second time, ‘You got to be kidding me,’ and when I put it up a third time everybody went, ‘You got to win a lottery,” said Eichler, who has been posting updates on the situation on her Facebook page. She says usually the material showers the area during the afternoon and evening hours.

“There’s no comic relief, this shouldn’t be happening,” Eichler said. “I contacted the mayor, if I were the mayor of a city, airplanes are dumping their honey pot, this just shouldn’t be happening … I want this to stop and my neighbors want it to stop.”  

The city of N.T. actually sent out a wastewater technician to do testing. According to Mayor Austin Tylec, the city can’t confirm whether it’s human or animal waste, but they do say it’s likely from an airplane because of its appearance.

It appears the droppings have stopped, according to residents; they haven’t noticed any new instances within the past couple of weeks. But there have been storms recently, and residents tell us it’s tough to know whether that’s the case.

Susan Terry also lives on Alice Street.

“We’d like answers,” she said, “We would like to know is it human or is it bird, the chances of it being bird for the flocks to fly off three times in that spot. You can see an airplane having it in their on their computers that this is their drop spot.”

The FAA confirmed to News 4 Wednesday that they are looking into the situation.
