I believe raw sewage is coming out of B-town International Mart into the gutter on the west side of their parking lot on South Auto Mall Road. Today it is then running into the north side of the intersection of Covenanter and South Auto Mall Rd. I walk past sometimes and have noticed it for a month, but today it is worse and the warm temperatures are making it stink. The folks at the Mart don't answer their phone, so I am letting the city know.
BIM tracking into road constantly. Big trucks, gravel, and debris ruining newer paved road.
Wet cement draining to storm drain, possibly related to boring work in area.
Water is slowly but continuosly leaking from the house at 501 South Mitchell across the Eastside neighborhood pocket park into the storm water runoff ditch. The leak location is close to the house's sewer cleanout and so possibly a sewage leak.
An active sewer line is leaking on to Lindbergh and flowing downhill to Lindbergh where it drains into the storm sewer.
On May 4th, 2022 I was taking a walk through the park when I noticed a chemical-type smell lingering near the stream that flows east to west through the middle of the park. When I went to investigate the source of the smell, I was alarmed by an opaque milky white substance contaminating the flowing stream. It also seemed to be the source of the smell. I followed the contamination upstream and traced it to a white PVC pipe that appears to originate from the Bryan Park pool facility. There was also particulate settling in the water where the pipe drains into the stream. Immediately after that I walked to the pool facility and confirmed with two city workers that the pool does indeed drain directly into the park's stream. They also told me that they were directed to power-wash the pool area and the resulting material was discharging directly into the stream via the PVC drainage pipe. Further, other city workers have confirmed with me that the pool water itself gets drained into the stream annually. I am not sure if this is legal - and if it is legal, it is certainly not environmentally sound. The material that is draining into the stream is very likely environmentally harmful.
