    On Lawton I have noticed water staining in street not draining from up hill for maybe 6 months even on dry days. I though was irrigation in summer but turned off and in AM road still wet. Sometimes almost a little milky colored. Happening on dry days. In front of hydrant and water cover but seems to start about 10 feet higher up street from hydrant. Maybe a leak under?

    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.

    Water is running out to street from what looks like pipe from the house at 62 Emerson that creates a hazard to walk or pass through the area.

    Hazelton Ave. Needham, Massachusetts - Needham

    During heavy rain (most recent Friday Oct 21, 2016...4th time in last 3 years) storm water pools on Hazelton Ave. and eventually runs in one massive rush through the backyard of #31 Hazleton down to Beaufort backyard (including into a swimming pool which then overflows also).

    All in a matter of seconds a giant pond and overflowed swimming pool is left in 3 Beaufort backyards. Homeowners are unable to address this amount of water through any barrier, yard regrading or sump system.

    Storm water from Hazleton and those streets higher up (Arch, Highgate, etc) must be redirected to stay on the streets and not go into yards. Attached map shows flow of water.

    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.

    Low water pressure at residence. Possibly gate left partially open after water pipe replacement work on Carey Road. Irrigation system unable to operate due to low water pressure; system checked and is operating properly per vendor. No leaking pipes at residence interior; all water valves fully open inside home.
