Hi, I am reaching out because the storm drains on & around Beacon Pl and Montgomery St in Jersey City have abnormally strong odors of raw sewage. The street on the northbound side of Beacon Pl also seems to be caving in near one of the drains, which makes me wonder if something is has ruptured and is allowing the stench to permeate at street level more than usual. While these grates are obviously connected to the sewers and some amount of odor is expected, the amount that the surrounding area constantly smells like sewage is pervasive and disgusting for people who regularly wait for the bus or have to walk around that area.
