Ms. Hoffman called on 7/8/98. There is an open sewer pipe in her backyard and has been there for about 12 years. The pipe is broken off. It has been capped before, but the cap will not stay because it is broken off. Mr. Hoffman's child fell approx. 3 days ago and injured the leg. Ms. Hoffman would like the open sewer pipe fixed.

The City paved the streets in this area. This caused the street to be raised causing the water to run off onto his property. The water backed up to his property and has caused his basement to flood. The cost to clean up this mess is approximately $6,000.00. He doesn't want to clean it up and then have the same thing happen again the next time it rains.
This is an area that the Engineering Dept. has received several calls on since the intersection of N. Adams Street and W. Vernal Pike was improved. This was a Redevelopment Project that was done approximately 2-3 years ago. I let Bob Woolford, HAND, know about the complaint. He was over the project. The residents complain that the water does not run-off since the work was done. The water stands at the intersection.
