Sewer Problems (Sanitary Sewers)
461 S Magnolia CT
- Case Date:
- 3/13/2025
Lots of tree debris/Sweet Gum balls in the 400 block of Faculty (between Hunter and Atwater). Students are gone next week and there are no cars on the street now.
Contractors were working at the front of my yard 2 or 3 weeks ago, and I noticed a sewage smell in my garage around the same time. Unfortunately, the smell has not gone away. Can you confirm whether the city has been in my neighborhood doing work and whether the sewage line in the area has been compromised?
The manhole cover on the Fairview st. side of this address appears to be leaking some kind of foreign substance that is not water. It may not be serious, but I thought someone should come check it out.
Following up on Case 188180. This report shows that it has been closed, but the valve cover has never been lowered to sit flush with the surrounding sidewalk. This creates a trip hazard and violated City ordinances related to ADA compliance and sidewalk maintenance.
Neighbor has blown a huge pile of leaves into the easement, causing water to pile up around utility boxes.
There is a city street drain at the bottom of my cul-de-sac between my house and my neighbors. I have been told by the city that the drain is not on city property. I am not sure why or how I am to maintain the drain. It is partially underground and does not drain as it should down the hill. How can the city put in a drain that doesn't work and then expect me to correct the issue. Last week I believe they backwashed the drain which let to a HUGE amount of leaves etc that was in the streets to wash down the hill behind my house and AGAIN destroy the steps I built! I have maintained the walking path at Rogers family park on both side of my house but am extremely upset that the city trees that fall and block the drainage along with the street wash (leaves, snow salt etc) destroying both sides of my house and washing away what little yard I have. I have cut brush and pushed logs but I am a 56 year old women and I can't move or clean as the city could if they would just come in and correct the drainpipe and push the dead trees away on the other side of my house. I push mud off of the trail and clean it all the time! I am often asked if I work for the city. I should!! I can't keep up with what the city should be doing with the water drainage in my neighborhood. I am at the bottom and I get EVERYONES leaves, sticks, street salt and mess. Please help me clean it up so I can continue to take care of it.

Sewage line is offset from street
Our yard was dug up this winter probably to access that pipe, but it’s been left with just dirt all over our grass and our sidewalk
