The cover for the access to the water line on Spicewood Ln has opened a number of times and I've been able to put it back. Today, the cover is jammed and I couldn't move it. The first pic is from Sunday when I last closed it. The second shows it's near the fire hydrant where E Spicewood becomes S Spicewood. The third is from today when I was unable to remove the cover.
A couple packs of water bottles thrown out all over the road
waste of city water
Section of the sidewalk on the east side of High St. is consistently underwater. Once the standing water drains, a thick coat of slippery mud is left. The specific location is just north of the hill heading south on the sidewalk. Thanks! John
Standing water on E. Maxwell Lane in the area between 1010 and 1016 E. Maxwell Lane. Ever since the fiber optic in-ground box was installed Fall 2024(seen in the attached picture) standing water remains in the road for a week or more after a rain. Seems to have created a very low spot in the roadway. Cars tend to drive around the water and into the oncoming lane. Immediately after rain the area of standing water is large enough that east bound traffic frequently has to stop for oncoming westbound traffic, creating effectively an area of one lane traffic. Perhaps the area of the road could be built up enough so as to restore the grading to allow the water to runoff into the gravel/grass.
A large and growing area of crumbling asphalt on the northwest corner of E. Maxwell Lane and Manor Dr. could use some repair. The road surface at this intersection is generally in need of repair. Storm water flow seems to be the primary culprit as storm water flows downhill south on Nanor Dr.
Our street, which is sloped downward from Dunn to N. Walnut, has water sluicing down Glendora in even a light rain. We have no storm drains or infrastructure to handle heavy rains except for the ditches some residents have dug on their own properties. I have such a ditch at 311 Glendora, and it runs very full and fast when it rains, keeping the street from flooding even more than it always does. My ditch has asphalt that is full of holes, so it needs patching- but that will only be a bandaid on what is a much larger problem... the fact that our neighborhood has no stormwater infrastructure. This causes basements to flood, and even one resident's basement wall to collapse under the floodwaters pouring down from Dunn St. Please contact me for more information, or direct me to the person who can help us. Thanks!
Water drainage ditch across the street from 2413 W Ellsworth is filled with debris and blocking culvert pipe.
The grass in northern part of Bryan park appears to be wet. I saw water coming out of the ground near the basketball court. There are puddles in some places and in most places the grass is just soaking wet. Since there is no active rain, I thought that amount of water is unuy. And the water coming out of the ground could indicate a water leak. I attached a picture of the hole I saw. There is water coming out of it. But I couldn't attach a video from it here.
Appears that a water line connected to a garden hose has broken at the property. In the back of the property, near the AC condenser, water has been spraying out continuously for the past 12 hours at least. Not sure if the line is secured or the property owners know about the water break.
