Is the algae bloom high in lake Monroe? I've noticed that in the last week the water has a musty or moldy taste like it did last year around this time. I was looking to see if there was any report of it in the paper, but didn't find any, so I thought I'd ask. Thanks.
The vegetation obstructing the sidewalk on the Maxwell side of the house has been successfully cut down. But the groundcover still occupies about a third of the width of the sidewalk. Please ask the homeowner to edge or pull up the weeds so that we can use the full width of the sidewalk on Maxwell.
Cars are parked on unimproved surface on Monday, 9/5 at 11:00 AM. This is not entirely their fault, as there is no room to park on the street - it would be very helpful for residents if the city improved the street and shoulder of Palmer Ave on the 1300 and 1400 blocks to make parking safer. Because this is a rental property, and there is also a car in the garage, totally 4 cars on the property, HAND should also investigate if there are more than 3 unrelated adults living at this property.
This street light has gone dark. It happened last week.

On 9/5/22, at 8:30 AM, I saw a doe with her neck twisted into a terrible spasm near 1504 S Olive. She could not straighten it even when fleeing. Her head was nearly 90 degrees to the side. At first I thought she was threatening me but she couldn't change posture.No abrasions or blood. Doe and fawn with her looked normal. Both adults had coat loss. Might be a case of CWD? Also filed report with DNR. State website claims no CWD in Indiana but I saw a pretty clear case of it in Renwick subdivision summer 2019--your dispatcher said that's what it sounded like anyway. I wonder if they only count hunter reported cases.
I have read that people are complaining of a strange organic smell from the water, but the water at our office smells strongly of chemicals, enough so that it burns my eyes when using the water. It almost smells like bleach when the water is running and it tastes strongly of chemicals.
Debris has clogged up the ditch along the street.
Water/sewage is coming up into our house from the street. This happened a month or two or three ago, right after the city did some work on the main in the street (2 large spots visible in picture). A plumber confirmed both times that there is no backup between the house and the street, and he got the drain snake/declogger to go into the hole (white on the left side of the driveway/this image near the bottom of the driveway) 21 feet (I have a video, separately showing the measurements) or more both times. This time he wasn't able to get the hole unclogged in the street, so it is an urgent situation for us. We are pretty sure the guys who dug in the street to remain a main caused the issue because we never had a problem before then, and the first backup into the house was a couple of weeks after that this summer. We would like the city to come scope it and fix it ASAP please. The plumber suspects that the jackhammering and digging that the big trucks did in the street caused a partial or full collapse, given where the backup seems to be from what he can tell. Please let us know when you might be able to look at it. We have little kids and really need to be able to use water in the house. Thank you!
Street light/ security light is out.
