Descrição

There are two major drainage and erosion issues we desperately need fixed. I will report them separately so there is no confusion.
The first one is in front of 2808 7th Avenue. The concrete pipe (tile) that the City placed in the former ditch is damaged and needs to be dug up and replaced. We have reported it numerous times due to all of the holes that continue to develop on the surface above. Please do not just fill the holes; it does no good since the fill gravel and dirt simply filters back out again. All of the topsoil is washing out of our yard and into the open drain from the back alley behind our house to the north of our property out to this drain and the open ditch to the far right of our property looking south. Please dig up this pipe and dredge out all of the dirt in the 2800 block of 7th Ave before replacing the pipe. Also – Please place the new drainage grate lower than the ground so water will flow into it and away. I severely hurt my ankle while mowing the City right-of-way by accidently stepping into a hole in the ground. I have not been mobile all week and am now afraid to mow the grass in the right-of-way. If you need to get in touch, please call or email. We appreciate anything you can do to address this issue!
