Habitually wet and often smelly sidewalk on north side of Cottage Grove, midway between Lincoln to the east and 213 E. Cottage Grove to the west. Leaky sewer line (?)
There is water constantly flowing out of the ground on the alley east of 213 E. Cottage Grove about 40 feet north of the street. The water is bubbling up and flowing south to the street then flowing east to Lincoln. When it was cold recently a glacier formed there that was dangerous to walk or drive on. It i now getting swampy there - still dangerous but in a different way. Both City Utilities and property owner were notified, but it is not clear if anyone has determined where the water is coming from. Good to check the meters in the area, e.g., 701 N. Lincoln, 700 N. Washington, 706 N. Washington for any unexpectedly high usage.
Maybe a complex problem, but there is often standing water (rain or shine, but especially when it's been raining) on the sidewalk and the street in the block just east of Walnut on the south side of 12th Street. .
A sewage like smell coming from the west sidewalk of the 730 building by the N Walnut St, it happens every evenings around 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and sometimes in the midnight. The smell usually last for 1 - 5 minutes and appears again in every other 30 minutes. I'm a resident here. By verbal communication, three other residents here also confirmed that they've found the similar smell. They also mentioned the smell like "restaurant". Please let us know if there're actions we could take.
