We continue to have storm water pooling in the drain in front of our house. We appreciate having the drain; would hope there would be a simple solution to mitigate the risk of pooling of storm water - in particular the risk of mosquitoes and the public health risk the bring - thanks - Kevin and Trudy Keough
Treacherously rough road; worried about potential damage to vehicle
From Old Indiana 37 to 11th Street (especially under the railroad viaduct), the bicycle lane is obstructed with piles of debris – some large and some small. I request that you have a street sweeper drive the whole length.
When we have a large rainfall, raw sewage bubbles out of my in-laws front yard. They are at the lowest point of the sanitary sewer line by the sewer lift pump. This only happens after a large rainfall. The issue is backflow from the sewer main. Their front yard clean out plug becomes the overflow valve for the neighborhood sanitary sewer. They have had their sewer line inspected and the issue is not a back-up from the house to the street. I walked through a stream of human waste and toilet paper that was bubbling up in their front yard and running down their driveway towards North Walnut this morning. There seems to be a communication between the storm and the sanitary sewers leading to a release of raw sewage in my in-laws front yard that poses a health risk. This has happened three times this spring and poses a health risk. This needs to be repaired correctly.
Deep pothole
Due to a crack in the curb and an uneven grade, all of the water in our cul de sac floods the water meter cover and my driveway and backyard when it rains.
There is water constantly flowing out of the ground on the alley east of 213 E. Cottage Grove about 40 feet north of the street. The water is bubbling up and flowing south to the street then flowing east to Lincoln. When it was cold recently a glacier formed there that was dangerous to walk or drive on. It i now getting swampy there - still dangerous but in a different way. Both City Utilities and property owner were notified, but it is not clear if anyone has determined where the water is coming from. Good to check the meters in the area, e.g., 701 N. Lincoln, 700 N. Washington, 706 N. Washington for any unexpectedly high usage.
Leafs are clogging up both drains in front of my house. This could cause flooding across Curry Pike. They were blown neatly into the ditch, but the leaf collection was too early last Fall. Very few of my leafs were on the ground before the interactive map had my area as completed. Thank you, Kyle.
Whoever does mowing for the Old Thomas Sanitation Plant yard beside my mother’s home never mows all of the cities property. Her property only goes to end of fence at back of property as shown by the surveyed stake with a pink ribbon attached. This is approx a 5’ strip perhaps. Please inform mower to mow all of the cities property so we don’t have to!!!
Storm sewers are blocked by debris on the streets causing water backup on the road. The street needs to be cleaned and debris removed from storm grates.
