Attn Phil/ and ED, I have doubts a foot more will be deep enough. I have heard the roar of racing water in my backyard. It has moved some of the 30 to 40 pound stones I have placed to slow the erosion. Please consider a deep ditch. Thanks
Ground sinking around man hole, man hole is in front yard.
Complaining about 3 inches of mud in front of his apartment. He's following up from a prior complaint about this location, when he claims that he was told that an environmental study would need to be done before it could be cleaned up, but that it wasn't a priority.
Hello, I live at 3408 E Olcott Blvd. There is a storm drain on the street between 3408 and 3412 that runs under my property and opens into a drainage ditch behind my shed. This pipe is completely clogged with leaves and other debris. Is clearing this pipe something the city can take care of? Thanks! Andy
Ms McGough called last week and asked for any document we have for storm water work we have performed near her house to help resolve ongoing drainage complaints.
I received the following email: Last year, you helped me and my neighbors deal with some of the water runoff plaguing our yards by installing a new storm sewer manhole. At the time, you mentioned the possibility of adding another slotted drain higher up on the alley to deal with the water that comes down the alley and into my yard. Do you think this is a possibility in the near future? In April, my backyard again was badly flooded with water coming in two streams: down the alley and from Woodlawn. BoI have discussed with Thrasher Landscaping possible remedies. They would involve adding pipes that would attach to the city pipes in my front yard. I am contacting you to see if this is possible. We need to be careful to aid damaging the existing city pipes that run through my side yard. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks again for the help you provided last summer.
Utilities removed trees along Graham drive. Drastically increased drainage in our yards in Winslow Farms. A ditch was to be dug in 2017....We were notified 'ran out of time to complete' last year. Needed ASAP. Worked with engineer Phil P.
Mr. Raff spoke with the Mayor at the Farmers Market on Saturday, 10/1. He described ongoing drainage issues on both Rose Ave and his property (704) and that of the adjacent landowner. He stated that the City has been working on the issue for a number of years, but storm water still gets backed up on the property and has lead to a mosquito problem.
Once again I tried to make the map show 2238 S Sweetbriar Circle, but to not avail. Behind my home there is a city right-away with trees. Many of them are those "tree of Heaven" trees from China. Several of their limbs are nearly to my newly installed roof and others, along with other vegetation are encroaching on my lawn. Mowing is becoming difficult, sunshine doesn't get through so I am seeing lots of moss and mold. Some of those trees need trimming and the brush needs to be cut back so I get some sunshine back there. Also since the city has redone a drain up on Henderson Street, I am getting lots of rocks, dirt, etc. with every rainfall that is filling up the area in the back. I moved here in 1998 and It has never been this bad until the drain was redone. Thanks for listening to my complaints. Hope these things can be fixed. The "tree of Heaven" trees are very nasty. They are terrible and multiply very quickly and grow extremely fast. Can anything be done to eradicate them? They root out any native Indiana trees. They need to be gone!
Hi, The stormwater drains in this neighborhood are no longer able to process light rain. Since the Echo Park subdivision was built, we have noticed an increase in the amount of water collecting near the drains. Historically, the drains have not processed the stormwater quickly enough so the water pools in the street causing traffic and parking disruption. We would like to find a solution to this stormwater and runoff issue. Thanks, Gavin Kelly
