this has been a problem for a few weeks, the water cap has been leaking for over a month, and i think they just waited too long and it caused too much damage.
I too reported it to the city right before the first deep freeze a couple of weeks ago. They were holding off fixing it though they knew it was leaking water being dumped down the storm drain during a time of near water conservation. I saw a patch go on and it seemed to work, for now, but apparently something else gave way. I am sure it was due in part to dirt erosion under the asphalt by letting it leak too long.

This seems to be almost annual event.
Guess we’re going to work dirty today…
Wow. I reported this to the city almost 2 weeks ago when the first trickles started. It seems like this particular main is frequently having problems.
