Lack of hot water
Lack of hot water
the street storm drain behind the Von Lee building was clogged on Friday night and Saturday morning 6-18 to 6-19-21. This caused water to not flow into the drain and considerable damage to cars and property in the surrounding area. On Saturday morning at around 7:30am I was able to unclog the drain. At the time water was up to just below my knee which is about 20 inches. A car was abandon by the drain and later towed by a local towing company. My property which is 507 east Kirkwood Ave. sustained damage as well as the IU business lobby just east of the drain in the von lee building. This drain should be change to a more clog proof type. This has happened in the past and will in the future
Water smells stale, water is discolored, cloudy and sputters out of kitchen sink faucet.
See case #188527. Garbage still piled up against house. Tenants do not seem to care about warnings or small fines. Can the fines be associated with their water bill so that it gets turned off if they do not pay?
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 do not have water as of 5:40 PM 1/11/2024. I have not received any emails and am up to date on billing (with 20 days left to pay for last month). It appears there is work going on up the road but I am not sure if that has anything to do with that or if it’s a household problem. Please get back to me as soon as possible. Thank you!
