Hi. I just want to say that I really appreciate the Adopt-a-Drain program. I was told about it by a city worker named Kriste. Anyway, I've complained for years about the storm drains on Blair Avenue. They get clogged (mostly by grass clippings from people mowing) and then the rain doesn't drain well. For years I said, why doesn't the city clean these? I was annoyed about it because the water would carry seeds and dirt, which would collect in my gutter, and then the next thing I know I have to mow my gutter! lol! So for the past four years I've been cleaning out my gutter, muttering to myself about the drain, and then every now and then cleaning it out, too. When I heard about Adopt-a-Drain, I realized that I could handle that task for two drains on Blair Avenue that impact my yard. Kriste also taught me that the city has over 12,000 drains, far too many to handle without some help. So, now I know that I can help, and I'm glad to do it. Great program!
Lots of excessive front yard and back yard growth. The back yard also contains a myriad of trash items such as old toilets which have been collecting water. My pest control company says mosquitoes won't get better here until something is done over there.
Terrible water taste affecting our business
Hello, I wanted to inform the city about a standing and stagnant water issue in the northeast corner of Bryan Park - next to the tennis courts on the path there is a water fountain and in ground water meter that always has standing water and mosquitoes breeding in it. I've uploaded a picture and this was after 5 or 6 days of no rain. Addressing the issue will help reduce mosquitoes and the chance of illness in the area. Thank you.
There was a water main break near Banneker earlier this week. Our water pressure has returned but even after running water periodically over the last couple days it remains very cloudy.
I saw my original complaint didn't go through. 930 South ransom has black smelly water discharging into the ditch.
615 W 6th St water leaking out of ground and on to road.
There appears to be a water leak underneath the medium/easement in front of the house at 934 W. Kirkwood Avenue between the bus stop and the tree.
We all are aware of the taste and smell issue with the water right now. I work at the hospital and many of my patients refuse to drink it because it tastes so bad, as do I. The smell in the shower or when pouring water to boil is so bad. My big issue is that my dog has become very ill with bleeding upon urination, vomiting, and severe diarrhea. When I took her to the vet there were 3 others in the waiting room with dogs with the same issue. I know we have been told that the water is safe to drink but I'm not sure this is a coincidence. I worry that there have not been enough testing done on the safety of the algae in the water on pets. I will be giving mine only bottled water and hope she survives this illness but really want this issue resolved.
