There is a tap water leak under the road, in the right of way at 2001 E Arden Dr, across from E Windsor Dr. The picture doesn't show it well, but it has been consistently filling the roadside for weeks, through the driest of weather. It may not seem like much now, but this spot can become a thick ribbon of ice and a hazard when pedestrians need to step off of the road. This spot has leaked a few times over the past 20 years, and been repaired a few times.
I’m not sure if this is a City Utilities problem but I wanted to point it out in case you wish to investigate. I noticed on the morning of 8/24/2026 that there was water in the road out front of 410 W. Somersbe Place (in the county but on CBU water). It is not a ton of water and I could not locate a source of flowing water. I thought maybe someone had washed something or dumped something. On the morning of 8/25/2026, there was water in the same places as the day before. Then today, 8/26/2026, after 3pm in the afternoon, the water is still on the roadway. I walk through the area and do not live on this cul-de-sac, so I have not observed anyone using water for some purpose in the area. It just seemed odd to have standing water 3 days in a row when it is warm and sunny, and it is running down the curb a decent distance. This part of the road has been dug up at least twice in the last few years due to water main line issues. So, just letting you know in case it is an active but smaller water leak.
There appears to be a slow water leak from the water meter located near 3206 E. Winston St.

There has been water continuously seeping up from the ground (in about a 10 foot area) and has been spilling into the road over the past few weeks. The location is in the front yard of 610 W Ryan Rd along the curb. I have lived a few houses down for over two years and have never seen this area collect water for more than a day after rain/storms. I am unsure if its a break in a water main, but the water has been seeping out at a high enough rate that there is visible flow in the curb leading to the storm drain. The house is currently for sale, and I don't think anyone has been by to check on the property since the problem began.
