Stormwater runoff in alley (lack of storm sewer in area). Stormwater comes from alley up the hill and down into the low spots in this area. It could be mitigated with a storm sewer system.
Road is flooded due to blocked drains. Unsafe to drive through.
Westminster Way is fully flooded at this location due to a blocked storm drain
As of 11:30AM 12/18/25, the is a lot of water collecting at the corner northeast corner of N Walnut and 9th Street. A drain may be blocked. It is covering a good portion of the right lane. Thank you.
The concrete adjacent to the storm sewer drain has collapsed.
Soil has eroded from storm drainage pipe that diverts water onto private property. There is evidence of prior mitigation from rip rap but more ground seems to be losing stability and there is also evidence of plant life dying.
This isn't a functional problem - it's a behavioral one. As I walked past the building on the NE corner of Morton and W 10th St, there was a man (who I'm assuming was employed by that building) using a leaf blower to blow a significant amount of debris into the storm drain on that corner. I asked him not to do that and why, but he continued to do it after I left. I don't know if there's anything that can be done, but I just wanted to share this with you!
Yard inlet at the corner of Oolitic & 12th has filled in with dirt.
One of our Adopt a Stream volunteers did some water testing in the Matlock Heights neighborhood creek. She was prompted to do so because the creek had a sewage and detergent smell to it. The two sites she tested were marked on the map and her results were: Site 1 results pH: 8 Nitrate: 2 Nitrite: 0 Oxygen: 5 Site 2 results pH: 9 Nitrate: 3 Nitrite: 1 Oxygen: 5
storm drains backs up with debris (leaves, sanitation truck material, etc.) and creates a "river of water on the surface that traveled down the incline and into the side yard. The street drain and dome are in the front yard of 2631 Atlee and 2612 Atlee and needs to be cleaned out at a minimum. These needs cleaned out before damage results inside our homes. Heavy rains should not be an excuse for lack of storm maintenance. Thanks!
