The concrete adjacent to the storm sewer drain has collapsed.
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!

The asphalt surrounding the storm drain is sinking creating a hole by the drain.
The storm drain on the north side of Wiltshire Court is completely clogged with debris from the storms/rain over the last few days.
The drain is covered with down limbs from the storm and asphalt that was brought in by the rainwater. Also. It needs to be further cleared and taken away. If you just dump it up on the curb it will kill all the grass and in the next storm it will fill up the drain again. So please remove this debris! This is a chronic flooding area and the main storm sewer outlet for this part of Park ridge East
