This sinkhole has been a problem for almost a year. The water dept referred it to sewer in the early Spring but no action has been taken and it is getting worse.
Ditches cement collapsing, two places: 1) under main road 2) resident walkway, see picture.
Back yard is a drainage area. Neighbors property has created a bottle neck and the force of the water has exposed Underground utility lines
The beehive drain at the end of the swail between our properties on Brigs Bend has failed again to drain the large amount of rainwater that fell 8/3/2020. This is the 3rd time we have experienced flooding that not only filled our yard and the side swail (which held water but did not drain to the street as it was designed), but submerged our neighbor's basement entrance. Had the rain not stopped, our basement was also in danger of flooding by a few feet. There is surely something that can be done to fix this problem as it has been occuring over a number of years (found complaints written to the Mayor by previous owners of our home). We ask you send engineers to assess the swails and beehive drain to determine remedies to this continuing problem.
Issue #173247 regarding the beehive drain and drainage ditches failing to drain rainwater on 8/3/2020 was listed at the wrong address (2739) and should be 2737 E Brigs Bends.
We're experiencing strong smells of sewage coming from the storm runoff culvert that runs along the east side of our property.
A meter pit at the Brighton Point HOA entryway (corner of Smith Rd and Brighton Ave) was hit by a vehicle a week or so ago. While repairing lawn damage it was discovered today the COB meter pit is leaking. This needs to be inspected.
There are at least 3 steel culverts that have rusted through creating a sharp object hazard along the south side of E Dodds St along the 300, 400 and 500 block. My concern is there are children that play in this residential area and the rusted crevasses could act as a trap for small limbs of children or pets. The culverts are corrugated steel and all seem to be suffering from rust fatigue along the top edge. Thank you for the consideration of replacing these culverts.
Thank you Kathleen for updating ticket 175079. This is a follow-up to your update. I do desire to remain anonymous on ureport system. These storm sewers have long been functionally abandoned and really do not act as "ditches" anymore. In fact some of them seem to not have an inlet. It was not so much that that I though they should be "clean out" but more like the sharp metal hazard should be addressed. The exposed tops of at least three culverts have rusted through creating what I consider "sharp rusty hazards". Replacing those culverts (or repairing the rusty sections) is what I was thinking. Or maybe rotating them 180 degrees so the rusty part is down? My concern with the cleanout solution is the neighbors might not like the excavation unless the hazards are removed. I do not think anyone is complaining about the fact the culverts might not be doing much to handle water run off. Again I just walk my dog along Dodds and that is when I spotted the harzards. I do not live at these residences. Thank you again for the consideration.
