Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)
1000 S High ST
- Case Date:
- 4/1/2016
I have traveled High Street between Arden Rd. and 3rd Street twice a day for the last ten years. Every time there is a heavy rain, water accumulates and flows down High Street between E. Mores Pike and 2nd St. forcing me to move to the other lane to avoid going through large amounts of water creating a very unsafe situation. I was delighted to see this section of High Street repaved last summer and noticed the sewers also being worked on. I assumed, incorrectly, that the runoff problem would be corrected during this maintenance project. Since the paving the runoff has actually gotten worse. Are there plans to fix this unsafe situation so cars can travel safely on High Street without endangering drivers and pedestrians? I regularly see in the Herald Times where is city is allocating and spending money on hiking and biking trails, sidewalks and various pedestrian conveniences. Why don’t we spend some of that money on making our streets safe and passable?
Looking forward to your reply,

Water gathers in the city egress behind my property and backs up into my side yard. I think something is blocked.

The culvert behind this address is blocked with brush and trash from the recent heavy rains. The culvert needs to be cleaned out in order for the water to flow properly and not back up into the surrounding yards.

There is a culvert behind this debris. Water cannot run from road runoff on azalea ln. Plus we have a neighbor who leaves trash behind his fence that flows down to block culvert. these things are very heavy and I cannot lift them myself. This is city land and management issue for water drainage.

Hello--My mother has 2 rental houses on Olive St. (1502 & 1504) that share a water meter. The 1502 S. Olive has the water meter on that property. What would it take to have 1504 S. Olive it's own meter? How much would it cost?

This is a formal request for the drainage system to be examined and or for a drain to be established on olive street given the standing flood water over 5 inches high.

Hi,
The stormwater drains in this neighborhood are no longer able to process light rain. Since the Echo Park subdivision was built, we have noticed an increase in the amount of water collecting near the drains. Historically, the drains have not processed the stormwater quickly enough so the water pools in the street causing traffic and parking disruption. We would like to find a solution to this stormwater and runoff issue. Thanks, Gavin Kelly
