During hard rains, water backs up in the southeast corner of my yard and comes into my garage and basement from the parking pad on the east and below grade through the wall to the north. The sidewalk running along the Clifton St. right of way is the east boundary of my property (see photo). Water simply can't move fast enough to the culvert you installed south of my property on the west side of the sidewalk. Is there anything you can do to alleviate this problem? I'm happy to discuss the details. Thank you.
We have a large number of mosquitoes in our yard, despite having drained and removed all possible breeding areas in our yard and our neighbors' in the spring. I notice that they seem to be most concentrated near the outlet of the stormwater pipe into our drainage ditch. I'm wondering if there is a nearby catch basin in the collection system under the road, where they might be breeding? If so, could someone please do a mosquito dip to check for larvae?
A fallen tree is partially blocking the drainage ditch that flows under the B-Line and railroad tracks, directly opposite the B-Line from lamppost 135.
For years there has been a strong sewer smell in the this area. (I have paid for plumbers to examine my house and the problem is not in the house.) As the cable workers have been laying the cable, I asked various if they also smelled the sewer odor and if they knew where it might be coming from. There were three basic answers: (1) A "lift station" in one of the drains may be faulty; (2) the terrain where sewage may back up at the crest of the hill; and (3) the manhole cover between houses at 909 West Gourley Pike is old and may be corroded so that the sewer gas is able to escape.
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.
On my walk in this morning, the metal storm grate on the north-east corner of 3rd and College had completely fallen down into the drain leaving the opening unprotected. Thank you!
Water coming up from this area is staying on the street drainage. It seems to be worse since the crews recently came through to install fiber. I see multiple reports on this issue have been made but there's water there now that could be tested.
Manhole cover is open. It is located just west of the church driveway on rogers street
As of 5:30pm 1/30/24 the storm drains on the southeast corner of Henderson and University (on both sides of the corner) are completely blocked with dirt and debris. Not possible for someone walking by to clear. Some of the other storm drains on this corner may benefit from clearing. Thank you. -C
