I am submitting this Ureport on behalf of Upland Brewing.
Pete Batule of Upland Brewing contacted me on 10-5-18 to say that Upland has been experiencing significant issues with odor coming from the storm drains on the north side of 11th street directly in front of Upland's patio. The odor is having a negative impact on their patio dining customers.
Here is background on the issue as provided by Mr. Batule:
Upland has had ongoing issues over the last few years with odors near the patio. They installed a piece of equipment above their lift station (the Peacemaker) next to the patio to neutralize the smell coming from the lift station. It wasn’t until the Peacemaker was installed that they suspected most of the odor was coming from the storm drains.
Phil Peden has done some investigation on the storm drains. He noted there is an illicit connection tying to the north side of the storm box. Phil doesn't believe it is tied to a toilet because there isn't paper in it, but perhaps is related to byproduct or a wash drain/sink coming from elsewhere.
Upland has dye tested their facility and found no evidence that the connection on the north side of the storm box is connected to their facilities. The odor comes on very strong at times to the point where they have to relocate customers.
They notice an increase in odor around times when it rains and storm drain activity increases.
James Hall and I discussed this issue on 10/8/18 and James has started to follow up internally at CBU on next steps.

When we get a quick rain the shower downstairs backs up. I was concerned that it was an issue in my pipes but have had the drain snaked. Also I can turn on the shower and let it run for a while. It only happens when it rains and seems that it is getting worse. It's pretty nasty to clean up every time it rains. Is there anything the city can help me with on this issue?

During last weekend's storms, the storm run-off built up in the ditch in front of my neighbor's house. The blockage may be in front of my house. The ditch in my front yard needs to be dug out.

An animal about the size of a raccoon has died inside the storm sewer in front of my house. It is emitting an awful smell. It is visible from the storm sewer inlet. Can someone remove it?

The metal covering over the storm drain in the "round about" has come off. The cover is in the street and the hole is open. The drain looks clogged with mud and debris. There is also a big hole. Kids play in this grassy area. This uncovered drain is a broken leg waiting to happen. The metal cover in the street is a hazard.

The public storm sewer on the side of my house is very much overgrown. The ragweed (which I'm allergic to) is at least 4 feet high. The ditch probably needs to be cleared and widened as well. I reported the widening and talked with city about this almost 2 years ago. We have frequent flooding problems in our back yard.
