Fire hydrant has been hit and there’s leaving no water coming out
My water meter is not on my property. It is located in the same hole as my neighbors who live at 2526 S Rogers. When the houses were constructed, the water meter was in their backyard. They remodeled adding a building and turning their yard into a driveway for the many vehicles they own. Their two Food Trucks, parked cars, food truck supplies and other items are in the location of the water meters. I have no access to their property. I have always wondered if my water read was correct. I live in a 900 sq ft home and am the only one living here. They have many many residents of their home, at least 6 or 7. At least7 or 8 vehicles use their driveway and park in the little yard they have left. I'm worried that where the meter is located may be making my meter read high. I would appreciate your investigation and a call with the results. I can't include a phoy As the meter is in their driveway.
A contractor (5 Star Electric, hired by Duke Energy) for fixing a power line to the city light in front of my house broke the main water supply pipe on Aug 23, 2022. They fixed it, but the water has been leaking since then. After closing the main water valve in the house, the water meter number goes up slowly.
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.
Fire Hydrant at the corner of S. Stratford Dr. and Kensington Place is dripping water from the front of hydrant.
Last year the water meter was replaced in the street on Eastside Drive. Since that time the water pressure in the house has decreased significantly. I have called numerous times for the utilities to come and fix the problem to no avail. I've received no response. Last week, we had a rental inspection at the house and was told the water pressure needed fixed in order to pass inspection. Is there anyone available that can look at the problem that is not in the house, but in the street? Help us please!!! Thank you!!!
I have no water this morning.
