Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)
510 E Lakewood DR
- Case Date:
- 4/28/2022
In November the city engineering team came out and added a new side inlet to an existing drain that goes under Dunn street from the back of 2950 N Lakewood. However, the only erosion prevention put in place was some straw. With all the nearby honeysuckle/plant removal the recent storms have caused a lot of the nearby dirt (and straw) to move and now the drain is almost completely filled with dirt and debris that has entered in the last couple rain storms. I tried reaching out a few times (Kriste L and Phil P) this past winter but haven't seen anything put in to help hold the dirt in place until some plants/grasses grow in. The water flow is certainly much improved with the new inlet, but in my opinion the job is just not quite complete.
Sewer Problems (Sanitary Sewers)
701 N Lindbergh DR
- Case Date:
- 4/26/2022
Our neighbors that live at the home on the NW corner of 11th & Lindbergh have water that flows from a spot near the sidewalk on Lindbergh and pools down at the intersection. This morning it was a strong flow. It pools and is causing issues at the end of the street & potholes are forming. It often smells like sewage. We have lived on Lindbergh since October 2018 and this became an issue in mid to late 2021. It did not always smell like sewer, but it has been more recently. We have noticed stronger flows more recently as well, whereas before it may have just been a trickle so we assumed it was stormwater from a sump pump or roof drain.
Drainage or Runoff
102 S Waldron ST
- Case Date:
- 4/14/2022
I am requesting a ditch or pipe be installed in the wooded easement south of my property that will move the water out to the storm drain that was recently installed last year on Waldron Street in front my house. On April 13th of this year, we received a lot of rain in just a couple hours and I noticed most of the water was coming from the wooded easement South of my house and running down into my yard, pooling up and overflowing down near my basement (where i've had flooding from the street runoff in years past).
Phil Peden is who I've talked to in the past.
Hoping this can be resolved before we get more rain this Spring.
Thank you,

This apartment complex has some of the nastiest water I have ever tasted. I have travelled to third world countries and this is significantly worse. I would rather die of dehydration than drink a glass of water from this apartment complex.
We have taken the liberty to test the water and found extremely high levels of lead and other bad minerals.
This forces us to drink only bottled water. When the issue was brought up to management, they laughed in our face and refused to address the problem
