The case we sent

Report details · AI-written, reviewed by the reporter

A large tree branch lies on grass adjacent to a sidewalk in the community centre parking lot, reportedly downed by a storm. Standing water pools in a low-lying ditch in the same area, creating a drainage hazard and potential mosquito breeding ground.

Description · in the reporter's words

Downed tree from storm. In ditch beside sidewalk, community centre parking lot. There is also a large ditch that needs filling with dirt. In a rainstorm it becomes a mote of water that is a breeding ground for mosquito and a safety risk for pedestrians crossing the lawn.
