    Ground water comes up through sidewalk. Grading does not allow water to go into drain. It is now a frozen sheet of ice in front of my home. I’m in a wheelchair (have internal elevator) and live alone with tweens. I can’t fix this ongoing ice and water situation or get a picture of the ice. We aren’t getting groceries or packages.

    I would like to commend the DPW for its concern with the ice along the northside of Brookline St. from Mitchell School to Manning St. The salting in the early morning is great for safety. The problem is the plowing that goes along with it. The plow tends to leave the ice it's scaping from the street on the storm sewer grate in front of my house, clogging it so the water no longer flows into it so it bypasses the sewer and continues down Brookline St. freezing as it goes. We had to go out this morning and break up the compacted ice on the storm sewer grate to get it to flow into it rather than down the street. Hopefully there is a reasonable solution to this..

    I believe the root of the problem of the ice on Brookline St. is run-off from the Mitchell School that goes unabated through our neighbor's garage and out onto Brookline St. which tends to last for days after the rain has stopped. In fact it is still flowing today from Monday's storm. It would be nice if the Town could address this problem some day. It's not new.

    Resident has called to say that a person is putting a hoe out on the street dumping water and creating a hazardous situation with water turning to ice... salt is required very slippery

    Rainfall on Greendale Ave is funneled into my driveway and overwhelms my drain. This causes my garage to flood. There needs to be a curb/gutter installed on this side of the street because the water flow is uncontrolled. My garage has flooded at least 8 times in the last 5 years.

    62 Emerson Road Needham, Massachusetts, 02492 - Needham
    A water pipe in the lawn at the front edge of this property frequently discharges water directly onto the sidewalk. The water runs down the sloped sidewalk, around into the street, and down the catch basin. This creates a year-round problem for pedestrians, and a significant danger in the wintertime, when the water freezes and creates icing on the sidewalk. Pedestrians are forced into the street. This issue has been previously reported on ClickFix and has been marked as "resolved", and the report has been closed. The only evidence of this being addressed is the orange cone placed in front of the discharge pipe. The issue is ongoing. Is there another department that this needs to be reported to? Thank you.
