The manhole behind my house keeps popping open during any rains.
Recently I found 2 kids playing around this. Can someone come out and secure this?
This is a recurring problem

Crews came out in dec and layed plastic down and sand bags. But since the last storm the lid popped off again, the plastic and sand bags all went down the hill.
And now kids are climbing around this.
I really dont want someone falling inside it looks very unstable and very deep

A crew came out today and cleaned debris from the parking lot near another storm drain but the one behind the fence down the hillside is still open, leaking and dangerous. I checked today after seeing the issue closed. It is not closed.
Can someone please come and look into this situation before some kids fall inside?

It is more than a one man job, as the manhole is very hard to reach, and he suggested more crew was needed, And it was not his department,
But this is still eroding the hillside, and continues to be a magnet for kids and such, What will it take to have this fixed?

Some more guys came out after I emailed in saying that I had to get my ladder out to help a kid climb out that had slipped and was at the bottom of the hole.
The lastet thing they did was put up a few signs "Do not enter," and set up some temporary fencing, Now it really looks bad, and nothing has been done to fill in the hole or fix the dilapated structure of the manhole.
