A homeowner says he is frustrated no one will take responsibility for sewage seeping through a road by his house.
Michael Monks said it was over three months since he alerted Welsh Water and Neath Port Talbot council.
He said they had both said it was the job of the other to stop the seepage from Gelligron Road running into the River Clydach.
Both the council and Welsh Water said investigations were ongoing and they planned to meet shortly.
The sewage is seeping through a hole in the main road and running down an incline into the river.
Mr Monks said: "It's just so frustrating, no-one will take ownership of it.
"It's been three months since I've been on the case to try and get it resolved."
He said during that time officials from the council and Welsh Water had both visited the site but had told him it was the other party's responsibility.
"Quite frankly I don't care who fixes it. It stinks of sewage - it needs to be done."
Further visits
The council's head of environmental health Karen Jones said: "Officers from Welsh Water, the Environment Agency and the council are working together to identify the source of the seepage which we suspect to be a defective private sewer.
"Testing is still going on and further visits are planned for Tuesday."
Welsh Water said: "We are aware of incidents of external wastewater flooding at Gelligron Road in Pontardawe.
"We have investigated these incidents and found them to originate in a private sewer, which is not the responsibility of Welsh Water.
"We have made residents aware of this and have agreed to a meeting with the environmental health department, to explain the situation."
