I turned on the tap water in my kitchen Sunday 7/6/25 and the water that came out was brown-the color of iced tea. I dumped the glass and refilled. The water then appeared clear and I haven’t noticed other problems but reporting so you have a record.
the water coming out of the tap line is clear but has a yellow tint to it since Sunday July 5, 2025
Tap water is consistently turning a yellow/green color after adding chlorine or bleach to it. It turns opaque and cloudy. This has never happened before. I've been calling the utilities line daily and they keep insisting the water chemistry has not changed, despite getting multiple reports of this occurring across the city.
Tap water has a greenish tint.
We've started to notice our cold water running a light yellow color.

Water from the tap is very cloudy and dirty. It leaves a ring in my bath tub.
Excessive water from drainage creek has engulfed vehicles and properties caused by improper size culvert and drainage path South of address.
Serious flash flooding in our neighborhood last night. At least 7 residential lots were affected on W Allen (6 north side of the street, 1 south side) directly west of the drainage creek that runs alongside Patterson. This has been an issue for several years, but is happening with increased frequency and severity. I've owned my house since 2012 and experienced 1 instance through 2019. Since then we've had floods covering much of my front yard at least twice a year. Last night was the 3rd instance this year and the worst I've seen. Water level reached my knees while on the sidewalk. Earlier this year, one neighbor's car was totaled due to flooding. Another had water rise up above floor level in their house a couple years ago. Previous attempts to clear brush, debris, and small blockages in the creek have had no impact. Rain garden bump outs were installed on Allen. They seem to have no impact as they run east up Allen whereas the source of flooding is the creek to the west. Utilities staff working on our block in the past have suggested culverts were too small to handle water flow. Reading the 2022 stormwater master plan, I wonder if installing a detention pond nearby might help. Instead of attaching photos, here's a video link taken at the peak of flooding last night: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/q84v292p5nk4e2a6dnqo4/Video-Jun-29-2025-9-46-38-PM.mov?rlkey=aouaax4cfgu6nnr8pvieuterj&st=o88w184x&dl=0
