Description
Citizen called to report: On April 2022, I sent a letter to the City requesting, if possible, to do something about the creek that passes through the back of my property, maybe making that water to run through a pipe because the problem that causes the huge amount of mosquitoes and the bad smell, specifically when it doesn't rain often. The water sits there without moving making that water a danger to our health.
Also, I would like to ask you if there is something that can be done about a big oak tree that is located right at the edge of the creek, behind my house. The roots of this tree are exposed and I am afraid the tree can fall on top of my house any time, even more, during hurricane season.
