Storm culvert is clogged under the railroad tracks @ intersection of Wimbleton & Plymouth.
Storm culvert is clogged under the railroad tracks @ intersection of Wimbleton & Plymouth.
Mr. Meetz called on 3/19/15 to report a damaged storm pipe that has separated and is starting to slide down into a drainage ditch. Also, a hole has formed in their yard over the pipe.
Storm drain needs to be cleaned off.
Clean off clogged storm drain.
called into city hall - K.Cummings, AHA inputting this issue -- John stated that he has called several times regarding this issue - there are two storm drains, one directly in front of his residence and another that is across the street that are in need of repair. John advised that the grates are too low, causing them to consistently get debris on them, causing flooding.
The stormwater grates at West Fourth and Fairview literally had small bushes growing in the sediment. I cleaned them again today-but why oh why can't these be part of regular maintenance? When they are blocked, which is most of the time, the water gets 6-8 inches deep at the alley near my house. I brought this to council last year when the city voted to raise fees and was promised by the director (Vic?) that this would be remedied. I have yet to see a clean up schedule or to see a worker ever clean these grates or clean the streets. I'm sick of it. There seems to be no dearth of resources for curbs and flower boxes and traffic restriction work. Why can't the city maintain the streets and storm sewers in a systematic fashion? What is the schedule for cleaning?
Customer said there is a pothole over a hole. Joe V. in streee dept. talked to Tony E. @ CBU and Tony will look into the problem.
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.
Strong odor coming from the ditch/stream behind our house and along the B Line Trail.
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?
