MANHOLE IS FULL OF WATER, TENANTS IN BUILDING CAN NOT DRAINS, WHAT IS CITY GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
This is an area that the Engineering Dept. has received several calls on since the intersection of N. Adams Street and W. Vernal Pike was improved. This was a Redevelopment Project that was done approximately 2-3 years ago. I let Bob Woolford, HAND, know about the complaint. He was over the project. The residents complain that the water does not run-off since the work was done. The water stands at the intersection.
The City paved the streets in this area. This caused the street to be raised causing the water to run off onto his property. The water backed up to his property and has caused his basement to flood. The cost to clean up this mess is approximately $6,000.00. He doesn't want to clean it up and then have the same thing happen again the next time it rains.
The street and sidewalk have been built up in this area so far that the water cannot drain into the street.
Riedweg stated that the University Lutheran Church used to have asphalt curb along E-W alley and now that the alley has been repaved so many times the curb is now delete. Due to this problem, water is running off onto the Church's property in their basement. Please call either Riedweg or Betty Vance.
There is what appears to be at least gray water discharging from a PVC pipe on the east edge of this property. The flow is going over the sidewalk and into the street.
