Trash Pickup Days
Is My Water Pipe Lead?
Your address in South Bend Water Works' own service line inventory — what each half of the pipe is made of, how they know, and what to do while it's still unknown.
Is My Sidewalk Mine to Fix?
Your block's sidewalk score and lifted-slab count from the city's own survey — and who actually has to fix it, which in South Bend is not the city.
How Bad Is My Street?
The city's own 2025 pavement survey, block by block — your street's condition score, what the survey recommends, and how it compares with the rest of South Bend.
Is the River Going to Flood?
The live St. Joseph River stage at the South Bend gauge, shown against the official flood stages — with the 2018 flood as the reference point.
Who to Call
City 311 or the county? Which of three utilities? The right number for every problem, verified.
Riding the Bus
What a Transpo ride costs, where to buy a pass, and the days the buses don't run at all.
