My neighbor has many five gallon buckets lined up next to his house filled with water. I am worried that they will spread mosquitos and disease and they are right next to my property. The owner doesn't live there (no one does). Can you please tell him to turn the buckets over? I thought I read that this was against some ordinance. The address of his house is 1413 w 11th st.

Please review condition of growth in front yard. The amount of over growth and lack of drainage is causing critters to find homes and standing water issues for mosquitoes.

Home owner has excessive growth in back yard. Home owner also has two untreated, unfiltered, and un-serviced pits in the back yard that fill with rain water and are left standing. Referred to as "ponds". This has caused an increase in critters and bugs in the area. I would like this request to remain anonymous please...

Lots of excessive front yard and back yard growth. The back yard also contains a myriad of trash items such as old toilets which have been collecting water. My pest control company says mosquitoes won't get better here until something is done over there.

Yard has not been mowed and owner has put back up black plastic tarp to hide fact yard has not been mowed. Lots of yard debris contains standing water. This has been a problem for over a year and the house has been vacant for over three years. Nothing has been done to repair since fire. Is very much an eyesore and health hazard.

1706 E Second street house, the part of the lawn that is on Eastside Drive is unkempt.
Also, could someone from the city check out the swale along that house, the Eastside Drive part. The swale is overgrown with weeds and blocks the flow from storm water to the under street drain at the corner of e Second and Eastside Drive.

The County side of the building took down trees, has smoking next to the entrance, invasive plants and weeds all over, an area of the pavement that is a big hole that is either ice or pooling water depending on time of year, and they have signage under storm grate that was intentionally picked up and placed in there. These things are not okay, would not be tolerated if there was any other tenant, and inexcusable. Why has this not been addressed with the county that exists in City limits? They should have better standards for their taxpayers and patrons than this. As well, there are trees at the back of the property that are dying that seem to have been more recently installed in the past few years but who will replace them?? Please fix this as previous reports have just been closed out without addressing any of the issues.

Last week I had city utility workers digging holes in my yard looking for what they think might be a water main leak. I think there might be an underground stream. They patched my yard and laid straw, I now have after this weeks storm several large holes in my yard, some large enough to lose a medium size dog in. HELP!!! Your website will only let me upload one photo, I have several pictures if needed, although they don't do it justice.

Water runoff is still an issue. I have reported this before and it is causing damage to my yard and basement. This area really needs a sidewalk or curb with storm drains.

Good Morning,
I called on Saturday night and spoke to someone, did not get their name, via the emergency number.
He recommended I contact CBU on monday but I did not get to it until this morning.
Situation is this:
6:15pm - My son and friend are playing near the creek/drainage ditch between Elliston Drive and E Dunstan. All of a sudden a big wash of water comes running down the ditch and proceeded to run for about 2 hours. Could be 3-6" deep roughly, best estimate.
I called in and gentleman I spoke with asked that I take a video, which I did and can provide.
I traced it back to a culvert outlet which was coming from Allendale. Looked in the inlets on Allendale and could see water was coming from the north and S. Dunstan. I walked up and could see evidence of water dripping from a truck (similar to the drips off the garbage truck). The drip path got bigger and wider until I saw water spill surrounding the top of a manhole in the middle of S. Dunstan at the dead end.
I did also notice that there is a storm pond that was half full of water in the Acadia Court apartments. I do not recall enough recent rain to have filled that pond but it looked almost recently drained but hard to say.
That's the story. I wanted to report because it seemed an odd time and weather for this to be happening. The water seemed odorless and in hindsight I wish I had got a sample. There may still be some pools with water if you want to investigate.
The attached map shows the rough path and the smaller circle to the north is the manhole and the larger the detention pond behind the apartments. The smaller circle to the south is the culvert pipe outlet.
