Months after six homes were condemned near Goehring Street because of a landslide, water still flows down the hillside onto the pavement.
Frustrated with the lack of cleanup, a North Point Breeze woman who has family near where the landslide occurred, is taking action to find out where the water is coming from.
11 Investigates talked to Charlene Haislip, whose brother has rental properties in the area. She wants to get to the bottom of it.
"Someone needs to fix the whole deal," she said. "It's not their problem, the homeowners who have been displaced."
Haislip said she and Councilwoman Darlene Harris collected samples of the water to get them tested. In both samples, fluoride was detected, something that also shows up in city water.

But the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority told 11 Investigates they cut the line back when the homes were condemned. Plus, they said they also tested the water and found the traces of fluoride do not match the chemical profile of the city's water.

Fluoride can also be found in natural water.
"It's got to be someone's problem. It's got to be because those poor people on the bottom, their houses have been condemned and they can't move back," Haislip said.
Either way, Haislip said it's about time someone figures it out, cleans up the landslide and stabilizes the hill.
"The conclusion is, well, it's not theirs and this is Spring Hill, then this must be a spring," she said. "My point: if it really is a spring -- I don't know how fluoride gets in spring water -- then someone needs to plug it up or something."
