Drainage pipe causes decade long battle for Newburgh family

WARRICK CO., IN (WFIE)- The construction along Lincoln Avenue in Newburgh has become too much for one family. 

The family says it's been a decade long battle, and now, they are giving up and moving out.  

The Hill family has lived on the corner of Frame Road and Framewood Drive for the past 14 years. The home they thought they would retire in, they say is slowly killing them. 

"We sink and we have holes," says Stacey Hill.
