The water meter located at 1502 S. Olive St. has a shutoff valve that is to tight to shut off. The meter is located in the front yard and has been covered over by dirt from work that was previously done by the installation of Fiber Optic. If someone can please take a look at the meter and loosen the valve so we can shut off the water if needed. We had to do work on the bathroom and needed to shut off the water and couldn't.
Water is bubbling up from the ground in two spots. Also sounds like air being squeezed out of something.
There is a stormwater drainage ditch at the corner of 11th and Illinois that is filled with stagnant water. Not sure if it belongs to the city or C&S, but either way it is ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes. I can’t tell if it is tied into city stormwater drains and simply clogged, or if it was never connected at all. Would be great if someone could investigate and maybe do a mosquito larvae dip. Thanks!
The street appears to be sinking; almost as tho a sink hole is slowly developing along an under the street water main to a manhole cover in the middle of the intersection. We now have to drive around this spot in order not to damage our cars.
I’m sure you love getting these. I’ve had a small trench on the side of the road on the University Road side of my house. It’s been there for a while. Recently, a water line broke or something similar happened requiring the city to move a fire hydrant to the city easement in that part near my yard. The trench has gotten bigger, and with the new construction, it has exposed dirt that will further wash out. I think you’ll want to add a lot of gravel to cover that trench and the construction spot for the hydrant. A new storm drain may be a long term solution. Anyway, if you can add a lot of gravel or similar (grass?), I won’t even complain about the damage to my lawn or even the lawn damage from Hoosier Fiber from last year.
Water rapidly bubbling up from sanitary sewer manhole cover, flowing into storm drain.
The storm drain in front of 816 has mostly filled with silt again, the drain is overflowing with water even in the light rain
We have a drainage pipe? That runs under our ground and out to 10th street. Us custodians try to keep the ditch clean across the yard, but the pipe is so clogged with sand and dirt we’re getting a deep pond after a rain. When the pond water goes over our hill it takes debris with it onto our sidewalk and sometimes to the city bus stop. Is this something you can help with? Thanks!
1st Street between Henderson & Grant: The ground water openings are covered in leaves again from last night's storms. Can you please clean these before the next round of storms arrive later today? Thank you.
The asphalt has collapsed next to the sewer drain and water is flowing into the sewer through the hole, eroding the area under it. (This is the second drain in this neighborhood I have reported for the same issue. It seems the contractor might have used less-than-standard practices in preparing the street drains here.)
