Should I expect to smell shit all summer. This is ridiculous. Waves of sewer wafting through the air every once in a while, but on a pretty much daily basis.

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.
Gravel and broken asphalt that has washout on the street and into their yard, killing their grass.
Lots of sand and debris in neighborhood streets. Please visit for a cleanup after construction is finished on monroe!
There is a large amount of sand in the road next to the bicycle shop.
The sand and gravel in the bicycle lane was never removed (from Old State Route 37 to 11th Street), even though it was reported 16 days ago. See Case #204099.
Ongoing sewer smell coming from general area of Cascades creek running behind our house. Always an occasional issue but lately (past few weeks) a very PUNGENT odor happening multiple times a day. Possibly a pipe is leaking?
The utility building at the W 17th roundabout has been defaced.
The culvert by the driveway has corroded and there are sharp edges where someone might be walking. Is this a city maintenance issue?
I came home and the water in all my toilets seems to have like exploded all over the bowl... was there utility work being done today? Is my water safe to drink? Its kind of unnerving to come home to this without explanation.
