Description

My alley (starting in behind 16 Fourteenth St and continuing north to end of alley) looks like a cesspool, and has for weeks. Several of the open broken garbage cans are now full of water and a potential mosquito breeding ground.

One neighbor discussed that in the past some people have dumped over these cans full of water and they made the back yards smell like trash and maggots for days (and presumably polluted the storm sewer). So please pump out or otherwise take the water to put in a sanitary sewer to be treated.

Please remove all rubbish and remove all broken garbage cans (they are apparently abandoned, since they haven't moved in weeks or months).

Please also advise residents to keep cans by their property, and not in the middle or across the alley.
