AUBURN (WGME) -- The CBS13 I-Team is On Your Side and on the road.

The coffee was brewing and so was the conversation at Kristi's Caf in Auburn.

One of the issues brought to the I-Team was a gravel pit that is expected to be built and blasted near Mike Fraumeni's home in Dresden. Fraumeni is concerned about the impact it will have on the water in his area.

"That ledge, all the rivers, all the streams and everything go down to the eastern river and which, in turn, goes right into the Kennebec. That's a hot button right there," Fraumeni said.

Meanwhile, Clair Patry is trying to nail down a contractor who installed her flooring. She showed the I-Team a piece of the floorboard, which is now chipping, after spending thousands of dollars to install.

"When you walk on the floor you can feel it. It's uneven. Im just thinking that a floor should last more than two years," Patry said.

She wants the I-Team to look into her lifetime warranty.

Gary Simard got right down to business. He's concerned about code enforcement in communities, especially those seeing a lot of new development.

"Who's going to make sure that these people are safe in their apartment buildings?" Simard said.

Simard is hoping the I-Team can investigate whether safety regulations are actually being met.

From new developments to your drinking water.

Barry Gilman raised the issue of the reservoir, Lake Auburn. He wants to know whether the possibility of a new development near the lake could impact water quality.

"I'm sure you people can find out about that, that's a major issue," Gilman said.

Throughout the day, the I-Team heard a lot of major issues and will be digging deeper into these stories in the days and weeks ahead.

"We're really looking for more of an investigative reporting on this," one viewer said.

The I-Team is on your side and on the road, working to uncover the truth and bring these concerns to light.
