Description
The Sanitary Sewer at 1200 69th Street N., is situated behind the storm drain sewer and water is coming out of the sanitary sewer and shooting up into the air about 3 inches and then going into the storm sewer a few inches away which empties into Eagle Lake just about 300 feet away. The sewage is still coming out of the sanitary sewer at a pretty good rate as of 12:36 pm. on June 7, 2016.

Water is no longer coming out of manhole is not a reasonable solution to this problem--it does not fix the problem that next time we have a heavy rain.
There seems to be a problem up the line with either a manhole cover is off, or a manhole cover to a sanitary sewer taking on rain water and allowing this to occur each time we have a heavy rain. The sewer department would normally want to take action on this to prevent raw sewage from seeping into the fresh water lake and neighboring grasses. Perhaps someone removed a manhole cover in their yard to get rid of flooding water?
Perhaps there is a manhole cover off, that someone is not even aware of. Is this the nature of the sanitary sewer system to allow raw sewage to shoot out of the manhole cover each time we have a heavy rain? Is this how it was designed?

Update from Public Works Administration: The overflow at this reported location was a symptom of the effects of the recent Tropical Storm, its rainfall, and the associated impacts on our stormwater/wastewater systems.
To prevent this from happening in the future, we have plans to address the larger issue of these systems' deficiencies. The Phase 1 Wet Weather Overflow Mitigation Program report addresses how we will upgrade our entire wastewater system to prevent these occurrences in the future. The estimated costs are approximately $50-$100 million. We have developed a 5-year capital improvement program to allocate funds towards our upgrades. Approximately $7.45 M is proposed in next year’s budget towards these upgrades.
We appreciate your post and your patience as we work to make the necessary system upgrades.
