SEWER ODOR INSIDE HOUSE HE IS BUILDING IS BAD, WAS WATER IN MANHOLE EARLIER
SEWER DRAINS SLOW WHEN WE GET HEAVY RAIN. ALSO HE HAS A LARGE HOLE BY THE SEWER MANHOLE IN BACKYARD AND HE FEELS RAIN WATER ENTERS THE SANITARY SEWER THIS WAY.
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.
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.
The street and sidewalk have been built up in this area so far that the water cannot drain into the street.
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.
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.
MANHOLE IS FULL OF WATER, TENANTS IN BUILDING CAN NOT DRAINS, WHAT IS CITY GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
SEWER PIPE WAS CRUSHED BY WATER LINE INSTALLED OVER IT
WATER BACKED UP FROM STOOL WHILE CITY TRUCK CLEANING SEWER LINES EARLIER TODAY.
