David Pearson, who lives on Longmoor Lane, says the sewage first started seeping from the grass verge at the side of the road over six months ago - but despite visits from environmental health officers and investigations by the county council, the problem has still not been solved.
Following a similar problem in 2004, which was repaired by the county council, Mr Pearson stopped his council tax payments until someone claimed responsibility.
He said: "We know that our sewage does not go into the roadside drain which is involved, nor does that of our neighbours to the west of us.
"I find it difficult to credit that, in one of the richer countries of the world, foul sewage can be allowed to run down the roadside for so long.
"I am sure that the risk is small but I, for one, do not wish for typhoid and I am sure that no one else does. On a more mundane level the constant stink is affecting our quality of life and annoying passers by, not to mention the postman, who no doubt blames us because of the proximity to our house. In addition, the sewage is killing parts of our beech hedge.
"If I don't get some resolution I will withhold my council tax. It is not my intention to be confrontational but at the moment no one is taking responsibility."
When Mr Pearson stopped his council tax payments last time, with the understanding that once the problem was fixed he would make the back payments in full, County Highways repaired the drain within a week.
Now they are denying responsibility.
A county council spokesperson said: "The county council carried out repairs in 2004 as effluent was seeping out of the ground and damaging the road. This work was carried out due to the damage being caused to the road and does not represent a change in our position.
"The current problem is not affecting the road or the road drains. As the highway authority we are responsible for managing the roads and any associated surface water – not sewage. We have therefore suggested that investigations be carried out into the source of the pollution so that the responsible party can carry out repairs."
Wyre Borough Council's Principal Environmental Health Officer Neil Martin said: "We are aware of the problem of effluent leakage on Longmoor Lane from what we believe to be either a highway drain or culverted watercourse. We are currently trying to determine which properties are served by the pipe and the possible sources fo the effluent itself.
"It is possible that some of the effluent going into the pipe may be from agricultural sources but this is still being investigated. We have also written to Lancashire County Council asking them to confirm whether the pipe is a highway drain or a culverted watercourse so we can determine what action can be taken."
