the fountain on chesterville appears to be getting worse. Floodwaters now consuming entire footpath and look to be undermining wall. Note present from owners rather beleagueredly pleads that people not try and be helpful and shut off their mains, it won't stop the leak, they told south east water three weeks ago, they know, they know, please stop asking.
Where abouts on Chesterville?
I hope it doesn't end up creating a sinkhole somewhere.
just shy of the south road intersection, that big ol' greek place next to the derelict lot. Don't think it could sinkhole, but man, that thing is definitely becoming a water feature. I snap/sent, but since that just rolls back to SE water and they already know about it dunno if it will do shit.
Council might be able to push if further if you indicate the footpath is obstructed, as that is their responsibility. Contacting your local representative directly can also be a good option as they can push things that otherwise get lost in the bureaucracy. If the wall that is being damaged is a tall wall that could pose a risk to people walking past if it collapses you could also call SES or 000.
Yeah i figured, so i flagged it as a hazard. Poor bastards (edit: people in house) have been out there multiple times a day trying to divert or clean it up, no idea wtf SEW are doing...
Send it my way. Water been off since 8am and still not back on. I want a shower dammit. Was supposed to be out 9-1pm. Someone screwed up
