Black water or gray water is bubbling up from the pavement right above Basswood Drive at the above address, it's pouring into the stormwater drain
A week ago a worker in a white p/u tk was at the fire hydrant at the end of my driveway. A couple of days later I noticed it was leaking quite a bit of water from the hydrant shut off. I contacted Van Buren Fire & reported it who said they would send someone to check it out. When I checked today I see that the hydrant is still leaking water. Van Buren said they notified City Utilities about the problem but no one has repaired it yet.

Can anything be done here? I understand it is for draining storm water, but the hole is quite large, and the cover is very loose, I could probably take the whole grate off and move it
I have noticed water pooling around the fire hydrant located on Circle Drive and Southdowns for over a week. It doesn’t appear to be water draining from far away, but just around the fire hydrant.
There is a broken water pipe near the fire hydrant where Circle Drive meets the 1800 block of Southdowns. Work was done previously to try and fix the problem, but the problem has returned or there is a new problem. I walk pass this site regularly, and water is present even when it has not rained for weeks. The pavement is beginning to show the effects of ever-present water.
Some time ago, utilities worked on a water main break (or similar) and never sealed proberly. Left large gravel areas. It has become dangerous, as vehichles are dodging the area by traveling into oncoming traffic to avoid the area. I have witnessed several close accidents.
Water coming up from this area is staying on the street drainage. It seems to be worse since the crews recently came through to install fiber. I see multiple reports on this issue have been made but there's water there now that could be tested.
The storm drain has collected a lot of leaves. I try to blow the leaves back into the yard, but on windy days and rainy days they have been washed down the drain. So far water has not collected there or been restricted from draining, but it is getting pretty full. Just thought you should know. It is on the northeast corner.
