Emergency crews responded to a report of an open sewer or manhole cover in the roadway near Northwest 142nd Avenue and Northwest 138th Street. Initial information said the cover in the middle of the street was flipped open, leaving a hole in the road. An officer checked the intersection and found one sewer cover still attached and no hole exposed, then continued along Northwest 142nd Avenue to look for other hazards. A separate manhole cover was found with its lid halfway off at a nearby address on Northwest 142nd Avenue. The officer could not safely move the lid back into place and requested that city street or water department staff come out after hours to secure the cover and remove the road hazard.
