There is a stormwater runoff ditch between our house (901 W 11th St) and the neighboring house, 827 W 11th St. I've noticed that after a rainfall, the stormwater that collects in the ditch looks blackish in color, and there is a strong odor of sewage coming from it.
I'm wondering if there is a leak from the sanitary sewer somewhere in the neighborhood, that is spilling into the stormwater sewer.

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.
