Hi there! My name is Melanie Nelson, I work in environmental services for Daly City. Our department is putting together a workshop on water conservation in the home as part of our "Going Green" series. We see it as a great way to protect the environment while also educating the community and saving them money, it's a win-win-win situation! Your page, http://bloomington.in.gov/waterwise , has been awesome as a guide for the event planning committee, and we can't thank you enough for posting it! The reason I'm emailing you is because a local middle school class has been helping us with the endeavor as a volunteer project and they (very proudly, I might add) found a great article here: http://www.improvenet.com/a/water-conservation-at-home . The article is a basic overview for children on water conservation in the home and its benefits, with links to several great sources for both children and adults. I think the kids would be absolutely stoked if you were to post a link to the article on your page, they love to help out wherever they can, and seeing the link on your page would show them that they've made a difference and their actions have had an impact (however small). Please let me know if this is a possibility and I look forward to hearing back from you soon! Thanks again! -Melanie

I am the VP of Peppergrass HOA and want to report that two storm sewer basins which are located in the center of the roads in Pepperchase and Grasstree Ct have sunken sever inches below the road surface and create a significant jolt when a care passes over them. Ther are also about a dozen places on the roads in Peppergrass that could use patching.

It is nice to have the sewer drains cleared. But they leave the leaves next to the drain and the next time it rains it clogs the drains immediately. It also kills the grass. All for drains at this intersection actually 6 trains at this intersection have a pile of leaves next to them. It was my understanding that those who cleared the storm drains were also supposed to take the debris with them. Please advise.

Drainage or Runoff

this is a follow-up from a previous report. The resolution I got about having leaves and debris near the storm sewer drains was that they would pick up the debris as part of the leaf collection. This is problematic in that it may be eight weeks before our leaves are picked up. In the meantime the grass will die like it did last year the pile will grow like it did last year. Last year I had a 3 by 4 by 3 feet high pile by one of the drains and every time it rained it clog the drain cuz it was picked up and moved back into the drain. I am at the bottom of Three Hills and we have consistent of flooding problems here in the fall. If the leaves are not removed along with the twigs and the papers and everything else that flows downhill we're going to continually have flooding problems. So for me saying I have to wait 2 months for this small pile of leaves at each of six trains to be picked up is irresponsible. If they can move it 6 inches they can put it in the back of their truck. If I don't get a better resolution I will be escalating this problem up the chain of command. Thank you very much. please get back to me as soon as you can.

There appears to be a leak in the water hydrant on Oak Street between 5th and 6th Street, at the alley. The east side of Oak Street is always wet even when it's not raining, and it's directly across from a hydrant. I couldn't find a place to share this information so please share it with the right group. Thanks!!!
