Fire hydrant is leaking.

Low water pressure at home (512 S Jordan). Possible to test at meter?
This is in reference to Case #141772. I should have been more detailed. You tested the pressure at 48PSI which confirms my test as I had a similar reading which I understand is acceptable while on the low end. My flow rate is not acceptable. I'm getting at best 3GPM from fixtures that should be delivering 5 to 6 GPM. Can you test flow rate at the meter? Thank you!
Recently a City Water Main was reported broke and water flooded sidewalks and parking lots. A few days later the bank noticed it also left a coating of clay in the basement of the Chase Bank, 2642 E. Third Street, Bloomington, IN. Facility Manager notified city who sent out a Risk Assessor to look at the issue who told the bank personnel that they would call FM back and let him know that he would have to fill out legal forms if we wanted to pursue the city cleaning this up. I would to get a call about the next step and the forms to fill out.
I deliver papers in the Gentry Honors neighborhood. There may be a water line break/leak near the intersection of Fenbrook and Sara, just past the stop sign. It's near a new home construction but beside an empty lot. There is a layer of ice about 5 inches thick and covering a portion of the street to the storm drain. It appears to be coming from the grassy/wooded area but is not normal runoff from rain, I think--I've never seen that much water run and it's getting bigger by the day. Just wanted to lyk in case it's a city water issue.

At 1903 S. Locust Court there is water running in the curb drain.
Water is flowing down the sidewalk for no obvious reason on the north side of East Third just east of Clark St. It's near a maintenance hole cover (under which I can hear water running). No recent rain, and the snow all melted days ago.
