This is more likely a Watermain problem, but there’s an overflow at this water valve access

On the street, across from the house at 1490 E. Southdowns and close to the intersecting street of Eagelson, there is a visible and continuous stream of water that appears to be originating beneath the blacktop surface of the street. I first noticed it on a walk at about 4:30 pm today(12-10-23). When I returned home after 20 minutes, the water stream was still at the same level/amount as I initially observed. The water is draining directly into a storm sewer. I’m wondering if there is a water main break?
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.
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 (?)
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.
We had a sewer blockage today. The plumber sent a camera through the sewer pipe and discovered that the fiber optic crew had pierced our sewer line, causing the back up.
Main sewer line backup, potentially from city sewer connection. 3rd time this has occurred in 8 months.
See case #185515. Issue continues - sidewalk is periodically wet again near SE corner of lot, likely untreated sewage.
Utility access cover in street is loose
Sewer backup/discharge between 2516 and 2520 S Roundhill Ct.
