No water at all
No water at all
Water is bubbling up from the ground in two spots. Also sounds like air being squeezed out of something.
Curb box at NW corner of Blair and 11th appears to have a slow leak. When I lift the cap, the pipe is filled with water and slowly spilling out onto the sidewalk.
There appears to be a water leak underneath the medium/easement in front of the house at 934 W. Kirkwood Avenue between the bus stop and the tree.
The grass in northern part of Bryan park appears to be wet. I saw water coming out of the ground near the basketball court. There are puddles in some places and in most places the grass is just soaking wet. Since there is no active rain, I thought that amount of water is unuy. And the water coming out of the ground could indicate a water leak. I attached a picture of the hole I saw. There is water coming out of it. But I couldn't attach a video from it here.
My water meter was to be replaced this past Wednesday but the service folks doing this work were not able to shut water off at the street as they said my water shutoff was bad. I am not able to turn water off in the house as well as I have a bad gate valve that needs to be replaced. I do have the city water spot prepped and ready for your replacement. I would appreciate a call to get this repair completed as soon as possible so the water meter guys can return to complete their work. Thank you. Terry Duffer
There is a relatively large water meter lid (maybe 18" in diameter) that is crooked and now stuck in an awkward position. It is located on the east side of Park about 40' south of 12th Street along the ROW. Since there are no longer buildings at this location (it might have served the old laudromat), it's possible this meter is no longer being used. If so, maybe the pit should be filled in. The way it is now, someone could trip on it or step into it or an animal could fall in and get stuck. It has been loose for at least several years and we have repositioned the lid every time it became uncentered, but this time it is locked in place and we cannot (meaning, we do not want to try to) fix it.
An area of the street at the intersection of E Hunter Ave and S Park Ave is always wet. This picture was taken 8:30am June 3rd, there has been no recent rain to cause this. I have observed this area being wet for weeks now, maybe months. I’m convinced there is a water main leak underground here. Maybe connected to the hydrant there.
This is my second time reporting this issue. This area of road at Hunter Ave and S Park Ave intersection is always wet. I pass by this area almost every day, and no matter the amount of recent rainfall or not, it’s always wet. I’m fairly certain there is a water main leaking under the road.
Evidently mowers hit this shut off well and pulled it up!
