This is a photo of where the sewer should be in the alley behind this address between Nashville and East McNichols. It has completely caved in. Many of my neighbors on Goulburn and Westphalia have had water in their basements over and over. This sewer cave in May be blocking the water flow. It is many feet deep. Please come out and investigate. This sewer is the responsibility of the water department, not the residents. I am making this complaint from 12554 Goulburn if you wish to speak to me.

This was originally reported OVER A YEAR AGO and once again earlier this year - STILL nothing has been done about it. The elderly neighbor that lives in the adjacent house has been told nothing about it as well -

Every time it rains, the streets flood livernois and the street shrinks to one lane. This is a major street with school, commerce, emergency(Fire Trucks, Police, Ambulence), construction vehicles, and work route traffic.

This overfill has been a problem for FOREVER. as you can see in the phot, this also puts kids in danger when being dropped off.

You have sent people to suck the debris from the sewer, but that is not doing anything to fix the problem.

We pay taxes so fix it, or it's a matter of time before a MAJOR MAJOR vehicle collusion occurs due to this flood.

in addition to the previously reported sink hole getting larger there are several divots in the alley along the main waste line. rain water is washing away the thick sand layer beneath brick. bricks will be lost into the hole and the city will have to buy new brick as they did in another alley.

hole is sinking more and more and starting to come through my back yard and I have children who play in the back and I'm concern for there safety this hole is located right behind my house in the ally and people are starting to liter too inside the hole
