Sewer open and actively LEAKING leaving waste on the street and sidewalk
Our neighbors that live at the home on the NW corner of 11th & Lindbergh have water that flows from a spot near the sidewalk on Lindbergh and pools down at the intersection. This morning it was a strong flow. It pools and is causing issues at the end of the street & potholes are forming. It often smells like sewage. We have lived on Lindbergh since October 2018 and this became an issue in mid to late 2021. It did not always smell like sewer, but it has been more recently. We have noticed stronger flows more recently as well, whereas before it may have just been a trickle so we assumed it was stormwater from a sump pump or roof drain.
Sewage spewed out of pvc near sidewalk.
Sewer at driveway and street appears to be backing up into sidewalk
There are holes in our line: one under the sidewalk, one under the street. They need to be fixed ASAP (we discovered the holes when a plumber was clearing a major clog the holes caused) and we need to know whose responsibility it is to take care of the issues under the road/sidewalk. The estimated cost of repair is incredibly high, and we're trying to find out what options/assistance might be available. Thank you for any information you can provide!
Raw sewage from cleanout all over between sidewalk and street. This has happened sporadically for years, but several times in the last month.
Probably a lateral sanitary line but could be a supply line. The sidewalk on the west side of Woodlawn has been perpetually wet for several weeks ever since the sorority there had some landscaping done using large, dirt-moving equipment. The wet spot is alongside the retaining wall on Woodlawn, ~20 sidewalk sections south of Third Street.
