Reporting large and suspicious hole next to water meter at the edge of the sidewalk. Could be due to a leak, or maybe an animal bureau. Not sure!

There seems to be a water leak between the sidewalk and the street curbing. Water is bubbling up through the ground around the small manhole cover-like object in the grass.
Water is bubbling up through the ground (from the muddy spot on the right) and running into this water meter.
Public sewer with an improvised cover without any type security, which gives off bad odors, located in the backyard of my property. I would appreciate the prompt response and solution from you, I have an Autistic son and this represents a danger for him and for the family.
Extremely low water pressure suddenly starting on or after 1130am today.
Storm drains are covered with grass cuttings.
The city has marked for a pipe installation project adjacent to my address on East Fifth Street and the man who mows my yard mowed over the flags that mark the gas pipeline and water hook up lines. They will need to be marked again before the project can begin.
Storm drain has been blocked and will cause excessive water pooling when it rains. This is on the north side of the house-5th Street.
Large muddy puddle on south side of Maxwell, between Woodlawn and Manor. Has happened ever since they removed the house and driveway and then filled in the south side of the road. The work they did blocks the water from draining off the edge of the road. Thanks!
Water/sewage is coming up into our house from the street. This happened a month or two or three ago, right after the city did some work on the main in the street (2 large spots visible in picture). A plumber confirmed both times that there is no backup between the house and the street, and he got the drain snake/declogger to go into the hole (white on the left side of the driveway/this image near the bottom of the driveway) 21 feet (I have a video, separately showing the measurements) or more both times. This time he wasn't able to get the hole unclogged in the street, so it is an urgent situation for us. We are pretty sure the guys who dug in the street to remain a main caused the issue because we never had a problem before then, and the first backup into the house was a couple of weeks after that this summer. We would like the city to come scope it and fix it ASAP please. The plumber suspects that the jackhammering and digging that the big trucks did in the street caused a partial or full collapse, given where the backup seems to be from what he can tell. Please let us know when you might be able to look at it. We have little kids and really need to be able to use water in the house. Thank you!
