When we have a large rainfall, raw sewage bubbles out of my in-laws front yard. They are at the lowest point of the sanitary sewer line by the sewer lift pump. This only happens after a large rainfall. The issue is backflow from the sewer main. Their front yard clean out plug becomes the overflow valve for the neighborhood sanitary sewer. They have had their sewer line inspected and the issue is not a back-up from the house to the street. I walked through a stream of human waste and toilet paper that was bubbling up in their front yard and running down their driveway towards North Walnut this morning. There seems to be a communication between the storm and the sanitary sewers leading to a release of raw sewage in my in-laws front yard that poses a health risk. This has happened three times this spring and poses a health risk. This needs to be repaired correctly.

I do not know if this is a problem, but Longfei restaurant is dumping various kinds of restaurant waste and wastewater into the storm drain in the alley between Longfei and Trinity church. The drain is clearly labeled "no waste", but they are indifferent to this.

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.

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.

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.
