    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.

  • 46 Brentwood Circle Needham, MA, 02492, USA - Needham

    We live in Needham on Brentwood Circle and our neighbor at 46 Brentwood Circle has broken drainage pipes that pool water in his yard and also direct to our property leading to pooled water in his and our backyard that is full of mosquitoes and bugs. We have elderly parents and young kids and are concerned about the mosquitos/bugs.

    Is there anything we can do to get them to address the situation/can the town assist? We have tried asking. Thanks!

    There is active water flowing from this construction site into a large hole that was dug
  • 46 Beaufort Avenue Needham, Massachusetts, 02492 - Needham

    Water from Hazelton Ave again overflowed at 3:30am this morning into the Backyards of 36, 40 and 46 Beaufort Ave. In a matter of minutes the backyards were completely overwhelmed with water. Water entered finished basements.

    Homeowners had to use industrial grade surface pump exiting by fire size hose to remove water from back yard.

    This is the sixth occurrence of the overflow that has been reported to the town since 2011. Three of the six occurrences have happened in the last 5 months so the problem is increasing in its frequency.

    Photo shows the depth of water reached against 46 Beaufort’s foundation.

    The same overflow happened and damaged homes in 2011 during Hurricane Irene, 2013, 2016, and August 8, 2023 and Dec 18,2023.
