We had an ice buildup issue in the last deep freeze we’ve never seen before on 3rd st. Not even from the first deep freeze. Water runs from the location and house I tagged all the way down to 4th street and hasn’t stopped even as everything else has dried up post rain. Not sure if it’s a house issue or pipe issue but figured worth noting.
Complex, long-standing problem: water pools and has nowhere to drain to on Woodlawn just north of 12th Street and up against the south side of the RR tracks. This isn't such an issue when the temperature is reasonable, but when it freezes it poses a sliding risk when the train is approaching. Major accident just waiting to happen.
There is a relatively large water meter lid (maybe 18" in diameter) that is crooked and now stuck in an awkward position. It is located on the east side of Park about 40' south of 12th Street along the ROW. Since there are no longer buildings at this location (it might have served the old laudromat), it's possible this meter is no longer being used. If so, maybe the pit should be filled in. The way it is now, someone could trip on it or step into it or an animal could fall in and get stuck. It has been loose for at least several years and we have repositioned the lid every time it became uncentered, but this time it is locked in place and we cannot (meaning, we do not want to try to) fix it.
The storm drain in front of 816 has mostly filled with silt again, the drain is overflowing with water even in the light rain
SE corner of lot just west of alley and close to the sidewalk there is a medium-sized, water-meter pit that is uncovered. Lid is not around, apparently. Dangerous trip hazard at night, and animals could fall in.
Large hole in street that takes up most of the westbound lane ever since water main repair on March 23. It was filled with rock but is getting worse each day.
The manhole cover on the Fairview st. side of this address appears to be leaking some kind of foreign substance that is not water. It may not be serious, but I thought someone should come check it out.
There is a significant water leak in the street in front of my driveway and mailbox. It has been reported more than once and is getting worse. This needs to be fixed before freezing weather! Utilities has been out here about a month ago so you know about it. Our water meter is about 30feet to the north in our yard behind red bush in picture
regarding previous report #199397 Nothing has been done about this water leak. The temperatures are below freezing and I will now have a large area of ice in front of my driveway and mailbox. attached is a picture taken today. Please contact me.
