    The water drinking fountain at Rebecca Perry park has not worked for a very long time. Lots of young ones and with the weather heating up, a fix would be welcome!
    Thanks!

    I tried to leave a message by phone but it refused to take a message. Our water meter in the basement is dripping water and making a whining noise when water is being used. I don’t see any numbers on the face of the meter either. Please call at 781-449-7907. Thanks.

    Full sidewalk of ice from water runoff getting stuck in front of my home. It’s a safety concern and since you won’t fix it I’m installing a barrier to get water into the drain for the rest of the season.

    Third year of bringing this to attention.

    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
  • 786 Greendale Avenue Needham, Massachusetts, 02492 - Needham
    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.

    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.

  • Oak St Needham, MA, 02492, USA - Needham
    Last 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
  • 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.
