Resident (Ron) called to complain about standing water that collects at the end of their driveway apron, which is a few feet from a sewer drain. Resident reported that the problem may be related to developer construction in the area (i.e., staging of concrete with massive trucks) which has damaged curbs and sidewalks. Camera-ing stormwater or other facilities may be warranted. ENG is following up about expressed concerns of damaged public ROW assets (sidewalks, curbs).

Resident called in to complain about the location of a dumpster that has been parked beside their residence for approximately 2 months. Problems related to the dumpster location precipitated after IU students began move-in activities earlier this month. The resident has not been able to reliably utilize sanitation services because the dumpster obstructs access for sanitation vehicles. Sanitation has issued warnings to the resident for trash build-up, but the resident does not control the dumpster and has requested help to remediate the problem.
