Car parked against traffic
We’ve lived here for decades. The sewer drain across the street and directly to the west overflow with even an hour of rain. These are old, limestone houses, so most of us park in the street or one car in the driveway. We’re all , mostly,60-75 yr old people. It’s not only so dark outside, if it rains, it’s absolutely brutal trying to navigate the curb, because the water is so deep. Winter is almost here, that’s even worse. I realize we don’t live in the rich neighborhoods, but we are all mostly IU educated people, we pay taxes. Our neighborhood doesn’t get snowplows for days. We are kind, old beatnik people, we have lived here for decades. If could please look at the drains, install a street light, and salt the streets this winter, we would greatly appreciate it. We love living here. Please and thank you.
Water coming from faucets and toilets is a medium brown color and has an unpleasant odor. Smells like a mixture of bad potatoes and pond water.
Water is yellow-tinted. Please remedy/flush the line.
The water coming out of the faucet in the bath (hot and cold) and filling the toilet tank is yellow-tinged.
Will the bike rack by the splash pad be returned or was it moved somewhere else? It is nice to have the bike rack near the restrooms.
Forgot to include address in last submission. Yellow tap water.
Water from tap is yellowish.
The water in two of our toilets (upstairs and down) has a grayish color after flushing. I checked with a neighbor and her water is also not clear.
