210 S Adams street (hinkles hamburgers location) behind the ice machine, there is a large hole developing in the parking lot (south west corner) close to the groundwater drain that may be related to the drain.
Good morning, There is quite a lip on the (much broken up and repaved this summer) street in front of our house, located at 1019 S Hawthorne Drive. It's been there for years, and our garbage cans keep falling backwards because of the difference between the road surface and the ancient in-need-of repair culvert in front of our house. Our neighbor, at 1026 Hawthorne Drive, had the same issue and said I could ask for the same remediation that fixed their problem - a fresh pour and grading of the asphalt shoulder in front of their house. Is this possible? I think the garbage truck folks would be grateful for this fix, too. Thank you so much! Christena Nippert-Eng
Since last week's rainfall, the sewer grates on E 1st Street are covered with leaves, particularly between Fess and Grant Streets, thus preventing the proper drainage of rainwater. Can you please have these cleaned? I also want to add that this has begun happening more often since the City has stopped collecting curbside leaves. Thank you for your help, E.C. Behar 11/11/2024
Betsy Smith - 812-327-5472 Ms. Smith called to report that sewer work was done at Jackson/W. Kirkwood. This has caused one of the manhole covers to not be sealed properly and it is constantly rattling. She would like to have someone come out and correct this.
There is a city street drain at the bottom of my cul-de-sac between my house and my neighbors. I have been told by the city that the drain is not on city property. I am not sure why or how I am to maintain the drain. It is partially underground and does not drain as it should down the hill. How can the city put in a drain that doesn't work and then expect me to correct the issue. Last week I believe they backwashed the drain which let to a HUGE amount of leaves etc that was in the streets to wash down the hill behind my house and AGAIN destroy the steps I built! I have maintained the walking path at Rogers family park on both side of my house but am extremely upset that the city trees that fall and block the drainage along with the street wash (leaves, snow salt etc) destroying both sides of my house and washing away what little yard I have. I have cut brush and pushed logs but I am a 56 year old women and I can't move or clean as the city could if they would just come in and correct the drainpipe and push the dead trees away on the other side of my house. I push mud off of the trail and clean it all the time! I am often asked if I work for the city. I should!! I can't keep up with what the city should be doing with the water drainage in my neighborhood. I am at the bottom and I get EVERYONES leaves, sticks, street salt and mess. Please help me clean it up so I can continue to take care of it.
Contractors were working at the front of my yard 2 or 3 weeks ago, and I noticed a sewage smell in my garage around the same time. Unfortunately, the smell has not gone away. Can you confirm whether the city has been in my neighborhood doing work and whether the sewage line in the area has been compromised?
After heavy rains Sat. and Sun., 19th St. between Walnut and N. Washington looked ghetto with all the trash that washed down from Lincoln St. All the storm drains along 19th were and are packed with trash and debris. The storm water drainage in this area is under sized. This has been a problem for years.
Debris and gravel/sand along curb of Sare Road between Jackson Creek Middle School and Mill Stone Ct. The gravel/sand is hazardous to cyclists and bikers.
There is a strange grate over a sewer on the residential side of Kinser PK right by the entrance to the golf course.
The water meter located at 1502 S. Olive St. has a shutoff valve that is to tight to shut off. The meter is located in the front yard and has been covered over by dirt from work that was previously done by the installation of Fiber Optic. If someone can please take a look at the meter and loosen the valve so we can shut off the water if needed. We had to do work on the bathroom and needed to shut off the water and couldn't.
