The grass behind the curb on the northeast corner of the 4th and Madison Street intersection has had a large gouge, caused by a tire, since last year. The gouge is very unsightly, especially for a recently improved intersection. It also releases muddy water every time it rains. Please repair the gouge and apply grass seed or sod (I recommend a small patch of sod, but use your best judgment). Thank you.
More than 15 years ago, a wide utility cut was made in front of our property at 3052 N Ramble Rd W in Blue Ridge Addition. We were told then that the street would be repaved and the gutter corrected. The path of the gutter to the storm drain at the corner never allowed the water to go to the drain because it dipped and didn't allow the water to travel because of that. It also stopped at our mailbox and creates quite the ice pond in the winter. When they came to repave our street, I spoke with the gentlemen doing the paving and asked if they were going to fix the gutter as well. (And let it be said how grateful I am for the repaving!!! Bravo!!!). I was told that was a different department. I had quit cleaning the gutter , tho I had kept it clean for years, as I grew weary of the bad street crumbling into the gutter. I was not going to clean it of street crumblings and pay to have it taken away in my trash anymore. Now the gutter, having been cleaned to apply the asphalt, still does not run to the drain because the slope has never been addressed. Why they didn't see this when they were going through the neighborhood fixing gutters, I don't know. I never saw the gutter crew around our property so I didn't ask. Can something be done? I don't like having guests parking in a lake. And the winter danger to come is not acceptable. Thank you for anything you can do for this problem. I'm happy to discuss this with anyone appropriate to the matter.
Any time it rains, a large body of standing water forms in the alleyway behind 530 N Lincoln St, near our apartment complex dumpster that makes it hazardous to walk through, drive through, use the dumpster, use the alleyway, and this could potentially be harmful for the structure of Stonechruch Apartments. There were just stormwater improvements to Lincoln St between 7th and 8th, is it possible to install a stormwater drainage grate here?
There is a utility easement between 2736 N Blue Ridge Road and 2730 N Blue Ridge Court - we recently noticed standing, nasty smelling, water running from easement area in side yard of 2736 into yard and driveway of 2730. Please check to see where smelly water is coming from.
extremely large potholes tht are just continuing to grow. This pothole is almost completely across the street and it is getting deeper. This deterioration happens every year however trying to drive around it puts me in my neighbors yards just to save my rims. this deterioration is eating up into my driveway which is also just getting worse and worse. If we could get this fixed ASAP, this neighborhood would really appreciate it. Some people hit it hard not knowing because its filled with water that now goes across the road. Can we please get this fixed so I can replace my rims without ruining them. Thank you.
Several months ago a new culvert was installed underneath Browncliff which was intended to help the property across the street drain more effectively. Yesterday, in the torrential rain, the sheer volume of water became a literal fast flowing river across several properties on the west side of Browncliff Lane. this amount of water can't possibly be due to residential properties on Browncliff, Matlock and Headley. my guess is that it is actually unmanaged runoff from the IU golf course, which means it is probably full of fertilizers and pesticides. Since there is no effective water management anywhere on these roads, the water becomes a river, then a lake. I do not believe this is a natural floodplain, (since water on my property seems to naturally flow through a natural swale). This seems to be unmanaged water from other areas that simply hasn't been dealt with properly.
We live at 1717 E Hunter Ave and have had water coming in our basement now twice (once last and once this) and both times the water is overflowing out this mainhole down on the corner of E. Hunter Ave and Eastside Drive. The manhole is actually spinning around it's so much water. The address where that is at is 420 S Eastside Drive I think. Not sure if its' related or just a coincidence with all the rain. The bsement floor drains have not backed up in our house, just water coming up through cracks and around edge of foundation.
The water is coming out of the drain in the middle of the road, the storm ditches are flooding too.

The taste/smell in the water supply has been a problem for years. The last time I brought up the subject to the City, they sent someone out to flush the water line--turn on a nearby fire hydrant. Of course, after a few days the water returns to smell/taste. So, what is being done to solve the problem? What is the position of the Health Department?
