This is certainly a health hazard now with ice. Please update as to what is being done. Do not close the issue until it is fixed. I also reported this some time ago and called to follow up. Last I was told, was that it was a homeowner's issue as their yard would have to be dug up. Shut their water off until it's fixed.

Thank you for your report. This issue is not under County jurisdiction and must be addressed by the Columbia Association. Howard County has submitted a report to the CA on your behalf. This ticket will be closed in SeeClickFix.
If you would like to follow up, please contact the Columbia Association directly at 410-312-6330.

Hickory Ridge Village Office has been working with various entities to determine where the water is coming from. It is chlorinated water apparently coming from a break in a pipe on one of the adjacent properties. Howard County claims they tried to notify the homeowner but were not successful. Columbia Association is aware of the problem and will pay attention to the pathway in case ice forms. However, the source of the water is not from CA property. The village has written to an adjacent homeowner to apprise them of the situation. Certainly, Howard County should be able to determine which property is using an excessive amount of water. To say that this is not under County jurisdiction is not really accurate. Council Member Mary Kay Sigaty's office is also trying to help. Surely, this issue should not be closed until the leak is stopped.
