Water near hydrant all the time. Either slow leak or natural spring?
Water near hydrant all the time. Either slow leak or natural spring?
Cbu replaced 3 hydrants during main replacement. These areas need to be replanted . Additionally during one replacement irrigation damage resulted in a $400 charge for repair. We request reimbursement
Grass killed by large piece of equipment left on the turf which should have been left on the street. This occurred during water main replacement over late summer. Requesting repair
SE corner of lot just west of alley and close to the sidewalk there is a medium-sized, water-meter pit that is uncovered. Lid is not around, apparently. Dangerous trip hazard at night, and animals could fall in.
Thank you for recently covering an open utility hole in this area by the alley. We noticed another one this morning a bit west of that one. It is also between Fess and Park on Cottage Grove. This one is approximately half-way between Fess and the alley between and parallel to Fess and Park, about 8 feet north of the sidewalk on the north side of Cottage Grove. It is smaller than the last one, maybe 6-8 inches, and looks quite old, unused, and slightly crooked. Maybe just fill it with dirt (?)
There is a small (6-8") utility access hole on Indiana Avenue that is missing a cover. The rim looks broken, and it is a trip hazard for pedestrians, bicycles, and scooters. It is located inline with the large baywindow on the west facade of Franklin Hall, and proximate to two other utility holes that have intact covers.
900 and 1000 block South High Street Water running down the street, where fiber optic cable is being installed
Small (~7" diameter) metal access cover (valve down there?) labeled "Water" in the middle of 10th street on the east side of the intersection with Dunn is damaged, completely missing the central portion of the lid and creating a hazard if someone steps in it or a small animal falls in. There is also another one with nearly an identical problem (or completely missing) about 50 feet west at the intersection of 10th and a funny little road named "Prow".
I work for Mackie Properties, and we manage Ridgefield HOA. The driveway at 3916 N Whitewood Way in Ridgefield, which the City repoured last year after repairing a broken main water line, is deteriorating. We initially reported this issue to the City earlier this year, but the City did not take responsibility for redoing the driveway. Since then, we have had contractors assess the situation, and they have determined that improper installation is causing the deterioration. Today, we sent another contractor to reinspect the driveway and provide a quote for sealing it. However, they confirmed that the deterioration has worsened over the past few months and that sealing is not a viable solution. They noted that the concrete was too wet when installed, leading to its current state. We request that the City tear out the existing driveway and properly pour a new one to prevent further deterioration.
There is a "CBU" orange/white-striped horse-type warning sign sitting by the street (12th Street side) that has been there awhile without any apparent reason.
