Part of the city-maintained Hunter footpath between Eastside Drive and Mitchell is submerged by an overflowing spring that has flowed under the footpath for more than 30 years of my personal experience. The pipe which carries the spring under the footpath is apparently silted up and needs to be reopened. At present, the foot path is impassable for pedestrians due to the amount of water on the path.
Sidewalk on south side of W 17th just east of tri north construction entrance covered with mud again. I can't overemphasize that the sidewalk itself is serving as a culvert to drain several acres and this problem will not go away on its own when the construction crews leave. I'll try to remember to come out here with a ruler when it rains next week to record the depth of the creek. Kids will be using this sidewalk to walk to school even on rainy days and their shoes should not be completely submerged!! We are going to look into this today (5/17). We believe that a soil stockpile and a storm drain with inlet protection is not allowing water to flow into the storm drain. We are going to investigate again and see if we can identify the exact issue.
A cap for water access has been coming out and creating a possible problem for drivers. I have reported this a number of times and fixed it many times, including this morning. The next time, I'll take the cap home so that it can't cause problems.
A cover for a water or gas line continually pops up in the street. If cars should hit it, it could cause tire damage or more. This has been reported previously but has not been resolved.
Storm water drain is clogged causing large “pond” of water on the north side of Atwater and potentially a storm runoff problem for property owners that could lead to flooding basements.
1701 s walnut. Tree on the street fell into the street. Tree was pushed into sidewalk. Pushed tree into house. Minimal damage to siding but branches caught under / on rubber roof and lifted it up causing leak. Was also pushed over water meter cover may have moved the pit That tree and brush has been hauled away.
Big hole in ROW around water meter. Very close to main gas line running under sidewalk, but the utilities have not been marked. Seems like there is a State law requiring diggers to contact 811 to locate. https://indiana811.org/resources/full-law/
Cavity forming alongside water meter in ROW close to SW corner of lot.
When we already have a flood watch, and now warning, please don't have City staff fill up their Vacall water trucks with a hydrant without a tight seal, spraying water for a long period of time and creating even more of a wet flooded mess for the yard.
Storm water grate at SE corner of Maxwell Lane/Highland Avenue is blocked.
