The sidewalk next to this rental house has not been shoveled once this year. It currently has snow from earlier this week. It is also less than a block away from a bus stop.

The sewage smell coming from Cascades creek is awful. There must be a leak in the system.

Hello! I filed this request yesterday but it says it was filed anonymously, so I just wanted to be sure someone could contact me. It smells very strongly of sewage coming from Cascades Creek at 210 E. Gilbert. We are in the process of purchasing this house and property, and we really don't want to smell it every day! Thank you! :)

There are 4 screws missing from this manhole cover. The smell from the sewage is coming up through the holes and it smells terrible.

Hello! We still have a very bad sewer odor at 210 E. Gilbert. I first reported this issue in November, 2024. It has not been resolved. We tested the water in the creek, and the ph levels are high, indicating sewage in the water. Here is the report below. Please contact me at 812-322-7997. Maryellen May My name is Jessica Will and I am a volunteer for the Adopt-A-Stream program. I usually monitor the Griffy Lake site, but recently learned about water quality concerns in my neighborhood. So, this month, I also tested two sites along the creek running through Matlock Heights and into Cascade Park. I believe there are strong indicators that our creek contains sewage and that sewage is being fed into Cascade Park. Please see results and observations below. Site 1 results pH: 8 Nitrate: 2 Nitrite: 0 Oxygen: 5 Site 2 results pH: 9 Nitrate: 3 Nitrite: 1 Oxygen: 5 Observations Elevated pH and nitrate levels may be indicators of sewage or other contamination. Smells of sewage and detergent were strong at both sites. Several manholes are placed along the stream, suggesting sewer lines run through the creek. Please see attached image for site locations (blue pins). I'm writing to share these results and concerns. I'm also seeking your guidance as to how to get the city involved in additional testing and potential sewage line repair.

Not a pothole, but the entire edge of Clover Lane in front of our house is breaking apart.

The empty parking lot next to our First Presbyterian Church - I think the address is 210 East 7th Street - has not been mowed all year. It is very overgrown.
