See case #187164: Water is still flowing from house. The stream begins in the alley coming from the NE corner of the house, then moving south down the alley to Cottage Grove. The sewage water then travels east along the north edge of Cottage Grove to Lincoln. The sewage water then forms a pool on the NW corner of Lincoln/CG. The sewage water then crosses CG and travels south along the west edge of Lincoln until it meets 10th Street, where it crosses Lincoln to the NW corner of Lincoln and 10th, where is has formed a second pool. The property owner claims there is no water coming from their house. Please test the water for microorganisms and when the tests come back positive, inform the property owner of their obligations if they want to continue to rent out houses that used to be people's homes.
Correction to case #187344: Current destination pool of effluent is on the *NE* corner of Lincoln/10th, not NW.
A sewage like smell coming from the west sidewalk of the 730 building by the N Walnut St, it happens every evenings around 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and sometimes in the midnight. The smell usually last for 1 - 5 minutes and appears again in every other 30 minutes. I'm a resident here. By verbal communication, three other residents here also confirmed that they've found the similar smell. They also mentioned the smell like "restaurant". Please let us know if there're actions we could take.
Habitually wet and often smelly sidewalk on north side of Cottage Grove, midway between Lincoln to the east and 213 E. Cottage Grove to the west. Leaky sewer line (?)
