Report Details

AI-generated, reviewed by reporter

A residential ditch at 960 Markham Road contains scattered litter including white plastic items, blue containers, and general garbage, along with a rusted metal pipe, creating a tripping hazard and contaminating the drainage area. Standing water in the low-lying ditch indicates poor drainage and poses mosquito breeding and water quality risks. The area, enclosed by chain-link fencing, accumulates water similar to a swamp, which both encourages illegal dumping and creates conditions for mosquito reproduction.

Description

Illegal dumping in ditch. Also this area is a low spot and collects water much like a swamp. This area should be regraded to prevent mosquito from reproducing and discourage illegal dumping
