Our sanitation guys went to this stop this morning and found that there have been people digging all through this trash or so we suspect and there is trash all over their yard. It is the length of one of our trucks. We picked up what was on the sidewalk but left the rest.
Sidewalk obstructed by vegetation at 211 e cottage grove.

Retaining wall along alley is collapsing. House is close enough to wall that structural damage could occur. Property owner is the same as 427 N. Washington, which has also recently had a retaining wall collapse, but the owners just piled the cinder block back up and left it that way. That building is not so close to the wall as to create a hazardous situation - it is just an eyesore.
There is water constantly flowing out of the ground on the alley east of 213 E. Cottage Grove about 40 feet north of the street. The water is bubbling up and flowing south to the street then flowing east to Lincoln. When it was cold recently a glacier formed there that was dangerous to walk or drive on. It i now getting swampy there - still dangerous but in a different way. Both City Utilities and property owner were notified, but it is not clear if anyone has determined where the water is coming from. Good to check the meters in the area, e.g., 701 N. Lincoln, 700 N. Washington, 706 N. Washington for any unexpectedly high usage.
Please test the water leaking from this house for coliforms. It smells again. Water is in alley. See previous ureport case.
