There is raw sewage sipping through the retaining wall. The clean out lid blew open. The smell is unbearable.

We always stop here on our walks to look at the minnows in Jackson Creek. Someone east of Sare Road has dumped a lot of sediment into the creek. In all the years we’ve been walking this trail, we’ve never seen this.
Black debris in water from faucet
street storm drain inlet completely clogged with dirt and other debris. habitat for humanity neighborhood. it seems the drain was covered with something to prevent debris from getting into it during construction. the drain is totally dysfunctional. thank you so much
The sidewalk across the street smells bad and it looks like there is a wad of toilet paper coming out of an open pipe in the yard.
Water is brown coming from all water faucets.
I reported a gaping hole near a sidewalk on east Roger’s road next to Sherwood oaks church but there was some confusion in regards to the location. I have attached and image of a map where I marked the spot. If you can’t find it please call me at (812) 837-7408. Thanks
Question: what is rhe official name for what i call the "Davis Street Canal?" It conducts water from Sheridan Creek eventually i think to Clear Creek. There are at least two others: one is short, aling Hunter (between Mitchell and Eastside) and another somewhere in the Near West Sude (or maybe Prospect Hill) neighborhood. Thanks!
The water in Griffy Creek behind this property is incredibly murky today - opaque and greenish grey and a couple new items of garbage have appeared on the far bank. The level is high and the water is flowing swiftly, and it seems less cloudy coming in under the road from the dog park. There were a dozen ducks and a heron frolicking in the clearer, cold water less than a month ago.
I don’t know if I am contacting the correct department. We walked by a retention pond and huge drainpipe on Buick-Cadillac Dr. A foul-smelling odor, smelling like potent bubblegum, grew in odor and started taking our breath away. I was reminded of a similar odor emanating from an Eli Lilly plant on the south side of Indianapolis. Should this water area in the midst of commercial activity be analyzed? We don’t wish to breathe in toxic fumes.
