How can I find out where my water meter is? We don’t see one in our yard and there isn’t anything about it on my portal page. Many thanks!

Sewer Problems (Sanitary Sewers)

3240 S Southern Oaks DR

Case Date:

Our toilet drains slowly. There is also a bubbling in the toilet when we run the water faucets in the powder room, the kitchen and upstairs. We noticed the problem with drainage on Monday August 28, and it has gotten worst since. There has been recent work on our easement to lay fiber lines. We are certain the issues for our toilet drainage are directly connected to the work done in the past few days. Please remedy our situation. We are not certain if we can run our showers and laundry due to the backup in our downstairs toilet.

Grandview Hills Neighborhood Association report for sewerage on 3617 Post Rd. This report is on behalf of our neighborhood. I have been in contact with Shian'ah Cox at the Health Department regarding a sewer leak on Dec 18, 2023. She came out to take a test. She let me know that the she needed assistance from the Water Utilities to give her access or for them to take the test themselves. As of yesterday Feb 13, 2024 she let me know that she still has not heard back from Water Utilities on steps taken, testing, or results. Our neighbor, Bruce Johnson looked back through his emails and notes to offer other timelines to help give some background on what he has been noticing and who he has contacted. "I contacted Alex Gray with the City on 9/25/23 and alerted her to the problem on Post Road. I called her again on 12/5/23. She told me that she remembered the issue and had taken photos of it on her first visit. My notes show that I first identified the leak in April when I noticed liquid around the flower pot (fiber optic access). The problem was caused by the original fibre optic contractors who were first on site in November of 2022. I have been in contact with ALL of the AEG sub-contractors when they started working in our area again in November of this year. I have contacted Hoosier Fiber networks field supervisor Luis Medina on at least 3 occasions by calling him on his cell phone. In addition I have spoken with Russell Lo (AEG supervisor for the work in our area) 2 or more times about this issue. All of the conduit in our neighborhood that was installed in 2022 was abandoned (left in the ground) and all new conduit was pulled in. None of the subs wanted to repair the problem as they did not cause it. Russell Lo told me some weeks ago that "it was repaired". Indeed the flower pot was reset when the new conduit was installed--but it rapidly filled up with effluent. I understand that you have contacted the City Health Department and that they will test the liquid for fecal bacteria. I have attached photos of the liquid in the flower pot plus the site that I took today. In addition I took a photo of the abandoned conduit on Post Road to the East of 3617 near the intersection of Meadowlark. The liquid drains into that abandoned conduit and it has been full for over a year. The street is platted for a width of 40 feet and the flower pot HAS to be on City property. I have personally witnessed liquid bubbling up and out of the flower pot. I believe that the residence is using a pump to get the waste water up to the sewer. Should anyone have further questions they can email me. Bruce W. Johnson" We need follow up on this problem. The photos can be shared by email on request. Thank you, Gillian Field

Hi. I'm very sorry to bother but as I was cleaning my bathroom a bit ago I found huge dead cockroach in my shower. I'm a very clean person despite being physically disabled and legally blind live on own so keeping my place clean is difficult. There's been problems with the lines under the trailers here off/on for about a year now. There have been repairs made to many however. There is oftentimes a smell of sewer outdoors. I've had odors in my kitchen particularly when using water in sink for a while now too. I've been having a problem with the roaches off/on for several months as well. I've done all I can but I fear they're somehow coming from the underneath of my trailer into the pipes that go into the water/sewer lines. I've contacted the management in past for help in find out the source to that area is they're responsibility but I received no resolution to the trailers are the responsibility of the tenants. I've got roach bait in about every room so the roaches find usually are dead but after seeing one in my bathroom shower upon cleaning I'm very uncomfortable with continuing to not contact on the situation. To this trailer park is on city sewer/water lines seems the most reasonable ones to contact. I'd greatly appreciate help in this matter. To I'm very concerned for the health of myself and my geriactric cat with kidney disease now. Thank you very much. Rebekah

Smells of Septic sewage waste and dirty water coming from this home area. The odor is intoxicating and unbearable. People and students from school walk thru this dirt area. Unsanitary. Specially during this hot summer season.

On the night of 3/24 we experienced a backup of sewage into the entire walkout basement level of our house. I don't know yet if the issue is on our property or begins with the city sewer lines but I felt it should be report as it was a huge backup resulting in 1-3 inches of water filling our entire basement which is now being gutted.
