There is a sinkhole slowly forming in the street outside 29 Briggs, and another one between 19-21 Briggs. Presumably caused by collapsing stormdrain that runs under the pavement along the street. A sinkhole formed and had to repaired outside 35 Briggs Street last year.

Catch basin is draining extremely slowly (others in area are down to normal levels).

Drain is falling in. The rain is washing away the cement around the drain cover

Catch basin clogged at corner of Washington square South and East causing flooding in street

Storm drain not draining properly

I know that a lot of effort was just put into fixing the drainage at the corner of Brown Street and Brown Street Ct, but the problem still persists. The catch basin needs to be lowered a couple of inches and the surrounding pavement needs to be sloped towards the basin.

Water floods yard from street runoff. May need additional drainage.

My neighbor at 22 Nichols St. Installed a sump pump I assume and the discharge pipe runs from inside the house to the edge of the sidewalk so whatever discharge water comes out across the sidewalk then down the gutter on the street. This has caused a unsafe ice buildup across my driveway and my neighbors driveway at 18 Nichols St. Is there regulations about sump pump discharge running down a city street just because of this happening? Please help it has created a unsafe situation let alone possible contaminated water running down the street. I have lived here 27 years and have never encountered this problem before

Storm drain between 60 and 58 Appleton appears to have been covered/no longer there. May need to be reopened to assist with drainage during storms
