245 Brookline Street Needham, MA, 02492, USA - Needham
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.

Fire Hydrant location markersRiconosciutoOak St Needham, MA, 02492, USA - NeedhamLast fall Oak street water main was replaced and as a result one hydrant was removed and two additional hydrants were installed in different locations along the street. The yellow way-finder on the utility pole across from the old hydrant was never removed and two additional way-finding markers should be installed on the utility poles closest to the new hydrants

73 Lexington Avenue Needham Heights, Massachusetts, 02494 - NeedhamGround 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.

Water IssuesRiconosciuto349 Great Plain Avenue Needham, Massachusetts, 02492 - NeedhamHello, starting the week of October 7th, I noticed the water pressure in a few rooms in my home is noticeably lower than usual. Specifically, we have noticed a pressure drop in our kitchen faucet. Is there work being done at my home location that could be causing the issue? If not, can it be looked at to assess what may be causing the issue? My address is 349 Great Plain Ave. Needham. Thank you!
