On early Wednesday, 7/2, one of the sanitation trucks picking up trash spilled white liquid on the roads along Spicewood II (Buttonwood, Cottonwood & Elderberry Lanes). A street cleaner came by Thursday but only did a portion of the streets and it didn't attempt to clean in along the east side of Buttonwood where there is a sizable amount of the spill. It's unknown what was spilled along every road but it's very gross and needs further attention by the City. Thank you.
Water quality has gotten extremely bad the last week. We (Starbucks store) monitor our water filtration system regularly and normally need to change the filter every 3-4 months (filters are rated to last up to 6 months but they ask us to change them once they become "latte colored"). Saturday 6/28, we found that our water filter was nearly completely black despite being only 1 month old. We changed the filter on Sunday 6/29 and within 24 hours it had already turned "latte colored" (tan). By Tuesday 7/1, it had already turned a dark brown and we had our water filtration system contractor Icee come out and check over the system, run a refresh, and change all changeable parts. Today, Saturday 7/5, the filter is back to being a dark brown color. We are concerned about what is in the water coming through our system and for those around us consuming tap water.

Two LED fixtures were recently installed at this intersection, both on the east side of Walnut, one north of 12th and the other south of 12th. They are *very* bright. Is it possible to swap them out with a lower wattage? We do see others in the neighborhood that appear to be dimmer and don't cast so much harsh light onto neighboring properties. It would be a relief if these were also more resident-friendly.
Missing wallet, was thrown away in a sparkler bag and was in the trash, but trash was collected the next day and is potentially in dumpster.
The traffic light headed south on College Mall/Sare Road at Moore's Pike does not seem to be functioning correctly. For the last couple of weeks only 5 cars could clear the light headed south. Today, only 2 cars made it through before it turned red. Thanks for checking
There are a couple of trees blocking the Griffy Creek trail. They are located on the main trail that follows the creek just after the trail makes a sharp left turn. I came from Lanam Road and crossed the creek and started walking up the creek when I came across this blockage. There may or may not be other blockages on the trail. A good job was done removing downed trees on the Lanam Road trail by the way. Thanks!
