City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #168421

Drainage or Runoff:

Web Form: 167265 was a previous case of the same problem. It was closed by Kelsey Thetonia. I report that the creek is intermittently very dirty and muddy looking. It was very clear yesterday and now it is very dirty, like previous pictures I have sent. Since it was clear yesterday and hasn't rained since Saturday, it seems like it is more than simple runoff. Someone upstream must be doing something. Mike Horvath

Hi Mr. Horvath, Last week, CBU had a 12" water main break in the Hyde Park neighborhood at Winston and Churchill Ct. When water mains break, we need to excavate the area to find the broken pipe, so it is very possible that the sediment discharge you observed was a result of this water main break. Last week we also had another large water main break south of Kroger East, and that also discharged sediment to Jackson Creek. In addition, I've been in touch with the planning department who tracks construction projects and they said they haven't had any recent issues with construction in the Renwick area. I drove through the watershed this morning to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Thanks for contacting us! Please let me know if you want to discuss this further or want to meet with me.
