A week ago a worker in a white p/u tk was at the fire hydrant at the end of my driveway. A couple of days later I noticed it was leaking quite a bit of water from the hydrant shut off. I contacted Van Buren Fire & reported it who said they would send someone to check it out. When I checked today I see that the hydrant is still leaking water. Van Buren said they notified City Utilities about the problem but no one has repaired it yet.

Northern lane of Atwater just west of Jordan. Storm drain is blocked and the lane is flooding very badly. Will get a lot worse if we have more rain tonight. Might just be leaves blocking it.

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.

Erosion undercutting sidewalk. Half way between Fenbrook Ct. and S. Baldwin Dr. on the north side of Fields Dr (aka Fenbrook Ln) near the retention pond the sidewalk is undercut and will eventually break. The erosion is on the north edge of the sidewalk.
