Re: Case 184904 Attn. John Hewitt, Anna Killion-Hanson Update: The enclosure fences have been constructed just this week. The pooling water continues to be an issue. Thanks -
We do not have water as of 5:40 PM 1/11/2024. I have not received any emails and am up to date on billing (with 20 days left to pay for last month). It appears there is work going on up the road but I am not sure if that has anything to do with that or if it’s a household problem. Please get back to me as soon as possible. Thank you!
A water pipe is draining onto the sidewalk, causing a frozen pond .
The asphalt on South Clark was recently repaired (I assume because of a recent water main break), and the new asphalt has sunk in somewhat. It's not clear that it's safe. This is on the street at the end of a driveway between 126 and 128 South Clark Street.
There is water constantly flowing out of the ground on the alley east of 213 E. Cottage Grove about 40 feet north of the street. The water is bubbling up and flowing south to the street then flowing east to Lincoln. When it was cold recently a glacier formed there that was dangerous to walk or drive on. It i now getting swampy there - still dangerous but in a different way. Both City Utilities and property owner were notified, but it is not clear if anyone has determined where the water is coming from. Good to check the meters in the area, e.g., 701 N. Lincoln, 700 N. Washington, 706 N. Washington for any unexpectedly high usage.
Maybe a complex problem, but there is often standing water (rain or shine, but especially when it's been raining) on the sidewalk and the street in the block just east of Walnut on the south side of 12th Street. .
Complex, long-standing problem: water pools and has nowhere to drain to on Woodlawn just north of 12th Street and up against the south side of the RR tracks. This isn't such an issue when the temperature is reasonable, but when it freezes it poses a sliding risk when the train is approaching. Major accident just waiting to happen.
Please test the water leaking from this house for coliforms. It smells again. Water is in alley. See previous ureport case.
No water pressure in the house at 801 W 9th street.
