Homeowners said they had raised complaints over the issue two years ago, and a year on since it was reported in the Lancashire Telegraph, the matter appears to have gotten worse.
McDermott Homes, which built the Highgate development off Ramsgreave Drive, said it had been contacted over the issue and had been on site and would continue to work until the matter was resolved.
The issue relates to a section of the road in Moore Avenue, off Bevan Street, at the far end of the estate overlooking rugby pitches.
A section of the road has seen sewage and smells emanating from the surface. Water could be seen seeping onto the road, which is causing the bad smells.
Homeowners have had to keep their windows shut during the hot weather, and also have to keep their pets away.
A resident on the estate, who did not wish to be named, said people were frustrated with the problem in what has been described as one of the most sought-after housing estates in the region.
He said: “We’re finally having to resort to getting the Lancashire Telegraph involved because they said the current issue was nothing more than water coming up as ‘surface water’, which it clearly isn’t.
“With the warm nights we usually have a window open. We can’t do that due to the horrid smell of sewage.
“This also impacts my dogs that live here, as they struggle to cool down.
“I even had to stop my new pup from trying to drink the stream of sewage as she thought it was running water.
“Honestly, for the prices of these houses, the aftercare is abysmal.
“We feel like second-rate citizens. Essentially on the tail end of Moore Avenue, it’s been one thing after another.”
He added: “I feel like we have been made a joke of. We were the first residents to move into the estate.
“Before we moved in they demanded a snag list within the first two weeks, but then took months do anything that we found.
“It’s been issue after issue, and each time I’ve had to chase them down multiple times to get the work done.”
A spokesperson from the McDermott Homes customer care team said: “We have been contacted about this. We are currently investigating the cause.
“Contractors have been on site, and we will continue our investigation till this is resolved.”
Blackburn with Darwen Council said this was an issue for the developer as the road was ‘unadopted’.
Head of Highways, Transport and Networks said Carmel Foster-Devine said: “The street referenced is not adopted by the council, and the sewers on this development have not been adopted by United Utilities.
“The matters highlighted by residents are the responsibility of the developer, McDermott Homes. However, we have contacted the developer, and they are investigating these issues.”
