Hello! There is still a very pungent sewage smell all through this area.
Hello! There is still a very pungent sewage smell all through this area.
Hello! We still have a very bad sewer odor at 210 E. Gilbert. I first reported this issue in November, 2024. It has not been resolved. We tested the water in the creek, and the ph levels are high, indicating sewage in the water. Here is the report below. Please contact me at 812-322-7997. Maryellen May My name is Jessica Will and I am a volunteer for the Adopt-A-Stream program. I usually monitor the Griffy Lake site, but recently learned about water quality concerns in my neighborhood. So, this month, I also tested two sites along the creek running through Matlock Heights and into Cascade Park. I believe there are strong indicators that our creek contains sewage and that sewage is being fed into Cascade Park. Please see results and observations below. Site 1 results pH: 8 Nitrate: 2 Nitrite: 0 Oxygen: 5 Site 2 results pH: 9 Nitrate: 3 Nitrite: 1 Oxygen: 5 Observations Elevated pH and nitrate levels may be indicators of sewage or other contamination. Smells of sewage and detergent were strong at both sites. Several manholes are placed along the stream, suggesting sewer lines run through the creek. Please see attached image for site locations (blue pins). I'm writing to share these results and concerns. I'm also seeking your guidance as to how to get the city involved in additional testing and potential sewage line repair.
Sewer line back-up at 214 S Hillsdale Court, multiple areas of roots in lateral line. That line was cleared by Commercial Service. City Issue: Sanitary sewer manhole cover/pit located in circle perpendicular to 214 Hillsdale Court accessed, multiple roots visualized, will be the next area for clog. Please assess and address the root problem in pit. Thank you. Mike at Olympus
Broken glass in bike lane between 7th and Kirkwood on Washington street
Thanks for taking this message. The west third bike lane stretch from Franklin at the west to Patterson at the east is filled with hazardous debris and deep gravel, and has been for many months. This has forced dangerous punctures, avoiding hazards by taking more of the safer pavement in the main lanes, thus alarming drivers, and other cyclists using the sidewalk. Please send crews or the machine soon.
From Old Indiana 37 to 11th Street (especially under the railroad viaduct), the bicycle lane is obstructed with piles of debris – some large and some small. I request that you have a street sweeper drive the whole length.
Water is off
Treacherously rough road; worried about potential damage to vehicle
We continue to have storm water pooling in the drain in front of our house. We appreciate having the drain; would hope there would be a simple solution to mitigate the risk of pooling of storm water - in particular the risk of mosquitoes and the public health risk the bring - thanks - Kevin and Trudy Keough
Broken glass in bike lane on northeast side of this street (just past intersection of 4th and Washington, headed westbound).
