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.
When it rains, basement floods. Customer wants storm drain cleaned out.
Storm drain is clogged with mud.
Customer says that a storm drain needs to be cleaned.
City crew recently dug out this drainage ditch from 19th & N.Wash St. west along 114 E 19th. Last heavy rain washed large amounts of debris and gravel down to this area. Both grates are blocked - large amt of gravel is piled up in the ditch. Storm grate that had been buried before work is completely covered. Burlap lining ditch is pulled back from flooding. Looks rough. I have more pics but could only attach one. City crew needs to see how their recent work fared.
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.
We live on the corner of Acuff Road and Kinser Pike. Under the thick layer of soil and big pile of leaves lies our metal storm drain. Rain rushes and washes dirt from the farm field behind our house via the deep trench along the side of Acuff Road (obviously we have NO curbs or rain gutters), and all that debris ends up on top of our storm drain. The drain is consistently covered and therefore clogged, so all the rain water rushes right over it and flows onto Kinser Pike. We are constantly cleaning all the collected debris from the grate even though we pay for this cleaning/maintenance service on our monthly water bill. We are in desperate need of a solution to this problem.
This is a follow-up to case # 167833. So the storm drain was uncovered, which is good, however, all the debris that was covering it was thrown in our yard--very much NOT appreciated!!! Now, we have to clean that up. Plus, the 4 or so inches of silt/sand/soil in front of the grate is keeping the rain water from reaching the storm sewer as seen in my photo. We received rain today, and it just collected on the road.
So, in lieu of a true rain gutter, the street department filled in the deep crevice along Acuff Road with gravel, which after a couple spring rains has washed down in front of our storm drain. As it continues to rain, more gravel will wash. We need a true rain gutter, or the crevice along Acuff needs to be filled in with black top or concrete--something permanent.
The drain pipe under the driveway is broken.
