Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)

702 W 4th ST

Case Date:
7/30/2020

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?

The intersection of Sheffield at both Cambridge and Providence Court are experiencing EXTREME flooding. These intersections have struggled before, but in 2020 they seem to be worsening rapidly. I am the association president and was sent the included photos from concerned (flooded in) neighbors.

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?

Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)

1048 W 17th ST

Case Date:
6/23/2021

We have cleaned the tops of the grates in front of our building but can not clean the culvert in the ditch, which is clogged with debris. We also have one grate that has erosion barrier under the grate which won't allow water to pass through as it is packed with mud. We were flooded in 2008. We were within a foot of it entering our building early last Saturday morning. Please send someone to address this issue before Friday. We can not survive another flood.

Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)

206 E Rusgan DR

Case Date:

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.
