There is a broken water pipe near the fire hydrant where Circle Drive meets the 1800 block of Southdowns. Work was done previously to try and fix the problem, but the problem has returned or there is a new problem. I walk pass this site regularly, and water is present even when it has not rained for weeks. The pavement is beginning to show the effects of ever-present water.
I have noticed water pooling around the fire hydrant located on Circle Drive and Southdowns for over a week. It doesn’t appear to be water draining from far away, but just around the fire hydrant.
Can anything be done here? I understand it is for draining storm water, but the hole is quite large, and the cover is very loose, I could probably take the whole grate off and move it
Hello--I have noticed sewer gas smell for the last couple of weeks at the NW end of the trail and on 10th Street in this area. Not sure if it is present all the time, I tend to be walking in this area around 12 and 5 p.m. Thank you!
City pick up truck with light blue plate 63998 turned right on red from east bound atwater to south bound woodlawn. People were in and approaching the crosswalk to cross atwater. Happened at about 9:28AM, July 18th, driver looked like a female with brown-ish hair.
Black water or gray water is bubbling up from the pavement right above Basswood Drive at the above address, it's pouring into the stormwater drain
Raised valve cover in sidewalk creating trip hazard.
Strong sewage smell in our kitchen, laundry room and bathroom. The city has come out every year to clear the main sewer pipe running under the easement between our house and the neighbors house. IMPORTANT: Last year the city ran a snake and said there were no blockages. The problem persisted and they came back with a remote camera and saw "All kinds of roots creating blockages" from my neighbors tree. Please learn from the mistakes of last year and bring the video equipment first this year...PLEASE!
For years there has been a strong sewer smell in the this area. (I have paid for plumbers to examine my house and the problem is not in the house.) As the cable workers have been laying the cable, I asked various if they also smelled the sewer odor and if they knew where it might be coming from. There were three basic answers: (1) A "lift station" in one of the drains may be faulty; (2) the terrain where sewage may back up at the crest of the hill; and (3) the manhole cover between houses at 909 West Gourley Pike is old and may be corroded so that the sewer gas is able to escape.
Complex, long-standing problem: water pools and has nowhere to drain to on Woodlawn just north of 12th Street and up against the south side of the RR tracks. This isn't such an issue when the temperature is reasonable, but when it freezes it poses a sliding risk when the train is approaching. Major accident just waiting to happen.
