MANASSAS — Residents fought back tears on Monday after the Manassas City Council declined to vote on the fate of the East End Mobile Home Park.

Residents of the failed trailer park at 9021 Centreville Road in Manassas were notified 11 months ago they would need to find new homes as the city was nearing a deal to purchase the property for $1.9 million. The reason: a sanitary sewer system on the property failed. Stormwater mixes with sewage and flows back into to a water treatment plant and can mix with the city’s drinking water.
