Description
Several of the rental properties on Greycourt Ave between Newport and Fauquier Ave. are taking water on in the yards. Sewer-line related? Poor property maintenance? Landscapers do not clear debris off sidewalks. Also water collecting in alleyways too breeding mosquitoes.

May be because the ground is saturated and the water has no where to be absorbed?
Have you noticed the smell of sewage? If not then its more than likely the rain and saturated ground.
Alleys are always a problem here in Bellevue with standing water.

Thanks. No sewage smell but the amount of water in the sewer the technician said was suspicious. He said he would guess it may be plumbing issues at the rental homes.
As for the water, I know a lot of the counties have taken to treating standing water to manage mosquitoes. Would be great if this is something the city could do.

I am confused here-
First a technician states that because of water in the sewer in there is a plumbing issue?
The city has looked at the sewer lines already and you want them back out? For what exactly?
An arborist suggested a River Birch would mitigate the issue? How would this solve a water issue?
If this is private property it would be the owners responsibility, if a rental then contact the landlord.
If a technician-(Sewer) has looked at the issue and the sewer lines then he should have noted where
the problem was and what it was and whether it was on city or property owners side of the line.
Also the city has not done spraying for mosquitoes for quite a long time.
It appears that if this occurs after a heavy rain that the ground at the location cannot handle the water and consequently it stands on the grass and sidewalks.
If the water is on the building owners side of the line, then it is the property owners problem and not the cities responsibility.And this is what the photo shows.
