THERE ARE DEEP DITCHES ON EITHER SIDE OF MORNINGSIDE. WHEN IT RAINS, ESPECIALLY A HEAVY RAIN, THESE DITCHES FILL UP. THE WATER TENDS TO POOL AT THE INTERSECTION WITH LEXINGTON. THE WATER SETS AND BECOMES STAGNANT AND ATTRACTS MOSQUITOES
Complaint was relayed by David Hamilton. Problem with drainage ditch and drain going under Concord. Apparently it is not handling the water the way that it should and is eroding Mr. Burton's yard.
Original complaint #602 assigned 11/7/1996. Mable Wade & her daughter Winona Collins live at 1005 Orris Ave. Water is coming out of the sewer above and flooding down on them. Mable wants someone from the city to come and see the situation. Streets came out and unclogged the storm sewer of leaves, however, problem is still getting worse.

HIT WATER LINES AND TORE IT OUT
This is an area that the Engineering Dept. has received several calls on since the intersection of N. Adams Street and W. Vernal Pike was improved. This was a Redevelopment Project that was done approximately 2-3 years ago. I let Bob Woolford, HAND, know about the complaint. He was over the project. The residents complain that the water does not run-off since the work was done. The water stands at the intersection.
Mrs. Stone says she spoke to someone yesterday who was supposed to call her back but she doesn't know who it was. Says when City put in sidewalks a few years ago it caused changes in drainage and now everything (water, gravel, tar) washes up at the end of her property. She's "going to call the Mayor" if nothing gets done, so someone needs to at least touch base with her.
