hole in street next to storm sewer
We have cleaned the tops of the grates in front of our building but can not clean the culvert in the ditch, which is clogged with debris. We also have one grate that has erosion barrier under the grate which won't allow water to pass through as it is packed with mud. We were flooded in 2008. We were within a foot of it entering our building early last Saturday morning. Please send someone to address this issue before Friday. We can not survive another flood.
Major sediment backup in under street culvert and culvert itself. Needs to be sucked up to allow for storm water flow
The storm water inlet looks like it is washing away under the grate cover and have a sinkhole and erosion problems on the back side.
When we have a large rainfall, raw sewage bubbles out of my in-laws front yard. They are at the lowest point of the sanitary sewer line by the sewer lift pump. This only happens after a large rainfall. The issue is backflow from the sewer main. Their front yard clean out plug becomes the overflow valve for the neighborhood sanitary sewer. They have had their sewer line inspected and the issue is not a back-up from the house to the street. I walked through a stream of human waste and toilet paper that was bubbling up in their front yard and running down their driveway towards North Walnut this morning. There seems to be a communication between the storm and the sanitary sewers leading to a release of raw sewage in my in-laws front yard that poses a health risk. This has happened three times this spring and poses a health risk. This needs to be repaired correctly.
Water overflow underneath the townnhomes
Drainage channel near 10th and Fairview is clogged with debris from recent flooding events. It needs to be dug out to allow water to drain and avoid breeding mosquitoes. Location is halfway between Fairview and the path connecting Butler Park to the B line.
The pavement is caving in on both sides of the storm inlet. ground under pavement washing away.
City crew recently dug out this drainage ditch from 19th & N.Wash St. west along 114 E 19th. Last heavy rain washed large amounts of debris and gravel down to this area. Both grates are blocked - large amt of gravel is piled up in the ditch. Storm grate that had been buried before work is completely covered. Burlap lining ditch is pulled back from flooding. Looks rough. I have more pics but could only attach one. City crew needs to see how their recent work fared.
