City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #174388

Illegal Discharge (Storm Sewers):

Other: The runoff creek behind our home has been running butterscotch colored opaque. Noticed the issue beginning at daylight today. Storm creek only typically flows during a rainy period and typically, even during a storm, runs clear. This appears to be a forced flow and we're concerned about the content of the H20. Is this a known issue with Bloomington storm water? If not, please investigate. There does not appear to be any city of bloomington work going on in our neighborhood (Grandview Hills)

Thanks for contacting us - I took a look at the ditch you mentioned and I determined the source was the water main break that CBU crews repaired on Morningside Dr this morning. Water main breaks release orange-colored water from the subsoil in the excavation pit. It’s repaired now so there shouldn’t be any additional discharge.
