A sinkhole has developed in the road in an area where a water main leak was repaired last fall.
A sinkhole has developed in the road in an area where a water main leak was repaired last fall.
Water pressure suddenly dropped and now have no water flow.
Water is running down the road.
Water is seeping to the curb near the mail box (not all the time)
Customer reports that water is running down the road in front of his home.
Returned home late from the hospital and found water flowing across the sidewalk between our house & neighbors’, near the water shutoff & sewer cover.
On the morning of 3/7 (after a night of storms) we noticed that our home’s water pressure has been significantly reduced. There is barely enough pressure to use the shower. I have asked neighbors in the area, and they are reporting similar issues.
I and others in the area have experienced a decrease in water pressure since the March 6-7 overnight and early morning storms.
I think the water main in front of 2700 S Banta is ruptured - there is water coming out of the cracks in the street and its not snow melt/runoff. A section of the main was replaced a few weeks ago about 50ft south of where this new leak is.
After Sunday's night storm there is low to no water pressure. I have investigated and cannot find or hear any leaks.
