MAYFLOWER (KATV) - When the Pegasus pipeline ruptured in the North Woods subdivision and crews rushed to contain it in a cove of Lake Conway those residents expected Exxon to come knocking on their doors. Now, a month later, they say the oil company hasn't even acknowledged them.
"They haven't contacted us at all and we're obviously a big problem for them or they wouldn't be here," said Danni Wilson, a homeowner near the cove.
According to Wilson, Exxon crews have been here everyday for the last month cleaning up the other end of the oil spill and blocking off the area at times.
"They said, 'well, we're not letting anyone come down here,' and I said 'who's not,' and he said 'Exxon,' and I said, 'well, sir, I live here," said Wilson.
