Other: See case #187164: Water is still flowing from house. The stream begins in the alley coming from the NE corner of the house, then moving south down the alley to Cottage Grove. The sewage water then travels east along the north edge of Cottage Grove to Lincoln. The sewage water then forms a pool on the NW corner of Lincoln/CG. The sewage water then crosses CG and travels south along the west edge of Lincoln until it meets 10th Street, where it crosses Lincoln to the NW corner of Lincoln and 10th, where is has formed a second pool. The property owner claims there is no water coming from their house. Please test the water for microorganisms and when the tests come back positive, inform the property owner of their obligations if they want to continue to rent out houses that used to be people's homes.

Staff inspected the location. Water that smelled of sewage was observed flowing from the address given. Staff are drafting a Notice of Violation Warning and are making other efforts to contact the property owner. There will be follow up when we have made contact with the property owner so that they can fix the issue.
Thank you for the report. The MS4 Inspector is set to investigate this on Monday. I will follow up with information after the investigation.
