Been a year. Still unresolved.

Dangerous for children. Ball started rolling toward drain and 2 year old began running after it. Would have been easy for him to fall in if we weren't right there.

Inv. 12/31/19, opening is 7.5 top to bottom. Will check standards and details to see if the bars are required. Jim B.

Repairs will be scheduled by our maintenance crew. Thank you Jim B. 12/31/19

Inlet mouth was repaired on 1/2/20. Inlet was brought up to county code with a 6” opening, therefore the bars are not needed and were removed.
