Fire hydrant blowing water at the corner of Rick Creek and Montclair
Fire hydrant blowing water at the corner of Rick Creek and Montclair
Ongoing issue over past several months with strong sewage smell and overflow from what looks like a cistern. Does not appear to be related to rainfall. Problem happened approx 2 years ago & has returned. Neighbors have asked me to file uReport.
The sewer cover in this area was covered with soil over the winter when snowplows came through to clear the snow from the grassy area to locate water/sewer lines. You can no longer see it. It is possible that it needs to be cleaned out based on issues I'm experiencing in my home nearby.
There has been water continuously seeping up from the ground (in about a 10 foot area) and has been spilling into the road over the past few weeks. The location is in the front yard of 610 W Ryan Rd along the curb. I have lived a few houses down for over two years and have never seen this area collect water for more than a day after rain/storms. I am unsure if its a break in a water main, but the water has been seeping out at a high enough rate that there is visible flow in the curb leading to the storm drain. The house is currently for sale, and I don't think anyone has been by to check on the property since the problem began.
The Man hole opening and cover have become dislodged from the control structure. This is now an open pit someone could fall into.
CBU recently replaced a pipe at Broadview and Graham. They filled in the hole and topped it , but now the repair is sinking below road depth and seems to be getting a bit deeper daily. It's becoming a traffic hazard.
There is still a strong odor on N. Kerry Drive on the east side of the street just north of the E. Hollywood Drive intersection. It may be coming from the little wooded area between 623 N Kerry and the limestone house next door (address 701 N Grandview).
Good morning, when the hydrant was replaced due to a leak, the yard had to be excavated down to the joint. It was backfilled and re-seeded, but has now settled, leaving considerable holes/trench in the yard. Is it possible to get that fixed?
Follow up on #212910. Asked about the channels on Dodds and in Hunter. Got the reply "Sorry to disappoint, but we just label them lined ditches." The images atrached are of "lined ditches" (both on Hawthorne south of Southdowns. The channels I asked about are quite different and warrant a different name Feel free to borrow "Dodds Street Canal" and "Hunter Avenue Channel." ☺️
The great over the storm sewer is falling in. It happened the day trash was picked up. It's dangerous for kids.
