WATER POOLS IN FRONT, IS IT OLD METER PIT?
White 2-story house in the 700 block of W. 7th St. is boarded up, but someone has partially removed a board from the window at the rear of the property. Neighbors have been seeing people in the upstairs at night. The stairway area at the rear of the house, which leads from the basement to the outside is full of water, which is several feet deep. The basement must be full of water. Ms. Stanfield is concerned that a child could drown.
Storm water is running off sidewalk along Rogers and into house. Mr. Greene wants a crub to keep water out of house.
This is an area that the Engineering Dept. has received several calls on since the intersection of N. Adams Street and W. Vernal Pike was improved. This was a Redevelopment Project that was done approximately 2-3 years ago. I let Bob Woolford, HAND, know about the complaint. He was over the project. The residents complain that the water does not run-off since the work was done. The water stands at the intersection.
The City paved the streets in this area. This caused the street to be raised causing the water to run off onto his property. The water backed up to his property and has caused his basement to flood. The cost to clean up this mess is approximately $6,000.00. He doesn't want to clean it up and then have the same thing happen again the next time it rains.
LOW WATER PRESSURE
She has standing water in her backyard. She thought that the City was going to do something about this area approximately 4 years ago.
The area along Park Ridge Road becomes clogged causing water to run down onto Cambridge Court, along the east side. The water runs in front of the park in this area. The water doesn't go up to her house but it does wash out her small flower garden each time it rains. She thought a neighbor would have called about this before.
The water runs down the street onto his driveway and then floods his house.
