The creek is covered in waste that looks like lint. It has been collecting over the past few weeks. There is a drainage pipe at the bridge that looks like the source. The creek bed surface is completely covered.
I am a resident here and they are building a new development, however there is no effort to keep run off from coming from the construction drive (our driveway is often covered in mud, gravel, and concrete run-off). It has gotten so out of control that there is literally a pile of concrete run-off on a sidewalk going down Allen St towards the neighboring apartment complex (Gardens Edge). They also have concrete run-off going into our yard space in the complex where many people take their dogs and children to enjoy the outdoors.
Constant water source seeming to come up from the road or sidewalk on the southeast corner of Bainbridge and Allendale.
The issue with this ongoing construction site continues. The workers on-site drove over the silt fence that was supposed to stop concrete run off and they have made no attempts to fix it. Every single time it rains, there is a build up of run off on the sidewalk that prevents water from draining properly and is contaminating the water systems with who knows what. The property has not ever disposed of it properly either (they literally just shovel it onto a tree stump instead of renting a proper disposal receptacle).
The city has come out and measured several times for a culvert to be installed in front of my driveway. The problem is that the street is higher than my driveway and this house is at the bottom of a hill. When it rains all the debris from the street and houses above me come into my driveway. There is so much water that my basement can flood and the water level can easily reach several feet deep. I have at the moment blocks of stones in front of my driveway so that the debris and water keeps going down Mitchel street instead of blocking the small drainage grates that are in driveway. Sincerely, Philippe Garnier
A storm sewer lid has slid off the pipe that it was covering, leaving it open far enough that a dog or child could fall in. It is located adjacent to the bike path along the east side of Sare Road where the path drops down close to Jackson Creek.
A hole has developed alongside the storm sewer drain (inlet). The pavement above the hole has begun to crumble and sink.
My Name is Josh Goodman and I live at 2821 E Tapps Turn, 47401. My gutters drain into an underground drain tile system (pvc pipe) and, as best as I can tell, this system drains east to west, runs under my backyard, and then hooks into the storm sewer (somewhere underground) on the east side of Sare Rd just north of where Buttonwood Rd intersects Sare Rd. I've been having issues for a while with the system backing up causing water to bubble out of the drain tile and down into the ground right next to the house. This tends to only happen during medium to heavy downpours. I had Roto Rooter come out with their pressurized water snake and camera and we cleaned out the entire system up until the point where it enters the storm sewer, but the issue still persists. There was a little bit of debris (leaves, etc.) but nothing that would cause the issue I'm seeing. Would it be possible for someone in the Utility Department to come out to my property to take a look to see if there is anything that can be done on the City's side to remedy this issue? I can be reached at 812-671-0049. Thanks, Josh
After the heavy rain on 2/7/19 a pipe in the alley behind 1107 S Washington St continued to push water up even after the water level in the Davis street ditch went down.
The storm drain at the corner of E Hillside and S Olive is clogged once again. This is due to the all of the runoff from gravel driveways south and uphill of the drain. This is a repeat problem everytime it rains. Please clear the drain and work on a longterm solution.
