Locate the defect without guessing what is below it
Green Bay’s Sewer Section includes holes near sewer structures among its public-right-of-way concerns. Its reporting information also distinguishes inlet, culvert and surface-flooding problems. The location matters more than a guessed explanation of what lies beneath it.
Identify the frontage and the nearest visible structure from an ordinary accessible position. Keep an existing context photograph and note when the change was noticed. Describe the opening as observed; an uncertain depth or cause can remain unknown rather than becoming an assumed repair quantity.
Separate the City report from a proposed surface repair
Keep the City report reference and any response with the project notes. Ask which part of the location the response addresses. A nearby private walkway, lawn edge or driveway may need a separately described proposal, but the reporting category alone does not assign ownership or approve work there.
If a private surface repair is later considered, mark its proposed boundary and what remains unresolved. Ask the provider what assessment it needs before pricing that boundary. Filling an unexplained defect is not a substitute for clarifying the underlying concern, and this guide does not establish a buried cause.
Does Green Bay’s Sewer Section list holes near sewer structures?
Yes. It identifies that problem within its published public-right-of-way reporting scope. Ask the City to address the actual location and appropriate response.
What makes a surface-hole location description more useful?
Give the exact frontage, nearby visible structure, when the defect was noticed and a context image if already available. Separate observations from any theory about the buried cause.

For a rented home, confirm who can authorize alterations. In a shared building, ask about access and work rules. A citywide construction period does not establish the age, condition or safety requirements of an individual home; check the property records and the specific project.
