Sweet relief!

The city has finally earmarked $8 million to fix ­aging sewer lines in Middle Village, Queens, that have caused fecal flooding in residents’ basements — a day ­after The Post revealed how the repairs had been promised for a decade.

“My God, I can’t believe it,” said longtime resident Vito Cascione, 60, whose 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham was flooded with sewer water during a recent heavy storm.

“The Post’s article really raised eyebrows and a lot of questions, so hopefully we can get this resolved once and for all,” Cascione said.

The 74th Street and Penelope Avenue sewer project, which was first proposed in 2007, sat unfinished for nine months after contractors dug up contaminated soil at the site and needed the extra dough to safely excavate it.

City Hall confirmed to The Post Friday afternoon the money has been allocated and will be processed through the comptroller’s office “soon.”

A spokesperson for the Department of Design and Construction expects work to resume “by the end of the year.” The contractor in charge of the project said about another year of work is still needed.

Since construction stopped on the project, many of the streets involved have remained unpaved during the indefinite hiatus, while residents prayed for dry weather.

But whenever steady rain hit the area, basements and garages were flooded with sewage, leaving some with actual human feces floating in their homes. “Everything was in upheaval, and they just left us high and dry,” said Louisa Gennari, 61, who had a “waterfall” of sewage coming out of her toilet during a recent storm. “I’m hoping they’re going to follow up and finish this job.”

State Sen. Joseph Addabbo (D-Queens) commended The Post for its coverage and said that while his office and his constituents are thankful the money was allocated, residents still need to have a timeline of completion for the project.

“My people can’t live in fear of the next steady, heavy rain,” Addabbo said.

Patricia Donovan, who has lived on 74th Street for decades, echoed that skepticism.

“I don’t believe anything until I see it. How can I? This is like my eighth time I’m dealing with this stinking sewer water coming into my house,” Donovan said.

“We’ll just have to wait and see if they’ll actually come through and do what they said they would do.”
