WBRZ - Baton Rouge

BATON ROUGE- A judge approved modifications to the sewer system's consent decree, paving the way for buyouts of houses near a sewer plant.

People in University Place Subdivision are closer to getting out of the area they've complained about for years.

The city will appraise houses, and hopes to buy homes soon.

47 houses are part of the proposed buyout.
