Drain does not function properly and washes debris out into roadway
storm sewer has collapse - at least 3 years ago - causing excessive loss of lawn. I had to have my sunroom jacked up & have the back yards in our ares are getting steeper & steeper. The manhole cover is washed off nearly every rain leaving the opening uncovered. The flooding is getting worse & worse, and something needs to be done. The subdivision is trying to work with City, but it really has to be take care of before we start losing our homes.
160453*** work has been done, but this neighborhood that has been affected by the drainage, do not see a sufficient ditch to accommodate the drainage we endure. Please explain what has been done. Attn engineer Phil or Project person Ed.
Attn Phil/ and ED, I have doubts a foot more will be deep enough. I have heard the roar of racing water in my backyard. It has moved some of the 30 to 40 pound stones I have placed to slow the erosion. Please consider a deep ditch. Thanks
During Sunday storm, water runoff on Madison Street between 6th & 7th flooded into my commercial space (212 N Madison). It climbed a foot up the exterior of the building and flooded comletely to the back of the building, jeopardizing thousands of dollars in equipment and stock. It appears that the sidewalk tips toward the building, and so that once the water crests over the sidewalk, it is pushed into our space. It seems to me that the issue with the sidewalk is the city's. Further, I wonder if there is anything that can be done to ensure the functioning of the sewer, which is the problem at the base of the flooding issue. I know two other spaces on that block also flooded. I don't have a photo, but can secure one from my landlord if needed. Many thanks for looking into this. Jane
A small stream feeding into Jackson Creek at Childs Elementary School smells like chlorine - like the stream is a drained swimming pool. The stream is at approximately these coordinates: 39.138140, -86.505298 on Google maps. That is on the east side of Jackson Creek (across the bridge), on the SE border of the playground area.
This is the third time we are contacting the city about this problem. We have a culvert that heads west of our house for one block. Our house is on the bottom of the street, so all the debris when flooding happens lands in our culvert and yard. The house west of ours at 1928 Ruby Lane has several big holes in their culvert which are larger than 3 feet. The debris from their destroyed concrete comes down to our culvert and blocks the waterway. I am including pictures. Last year the city fixed the culvert on a house 5 houses up from us, but didn't fix the rest of the culvert. Please advise what to do. Thank you
She would like to know when we might be scheduling work on the drainage ditches and what type of work so she can plant a tree
The property owner, Rega Wood, is concerned about the drainage coming from the north and crossing onto her property. The existing inlets in Rose Ave. cannot handle the amount of water they receive.
