This is more likely a Watermain problem, but there’s an overflow at this water valve access

Customer wants something done about rain water pooling into the street.
Heavy rain water is not going into the storm drain properly
Large amounts of water have been draining out of the parking lot of Morrison's Appliance store on West Kirkwood Ave. During freezing temperatures, this creates a large sheet of ice accross the sidewalk and along the northern edge of Kirkwood Ave creating a hazard for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles.
There was a High Water sign put up at Indiana & 6th, the IU Grounds dept. picked up the bracket/stand but the sign was gone. The bracket is here at our office at 2222 E. 10th Street, can be picked up M-F, 7am-3:30pm. Thanks Jill.
Good morning Is this road ever going to be repaired? Someone made a big deal about this a while back, and we were told it is the city's responsibility and would be repaired after graduation. It is almost July and the situation keeps getting worse. As seen in the attached picture, the water is always there. It is constantly leaking from the sewer. The road in question is East 11th and Fee Ln.
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.
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.
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.
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.
