What to do if my neighbor’s raw sewage running onto my property and into my ponds?

My neighbor’s raw sewage is running straight down the side of their yard into the ditch to the culvert. This runs under the road onto my property and into my ponds. I have already called the health dept. and they are starting the process of getting this to stop but I would like to know what my legal recourse against this neighbor is.
