Sewer Problems (Sanitary Sewers):

Other: In January 2023, while an optic cable was being installed on our street, the company called Vertical Underground LLC, which we were informed was contracted by the City of Bloomington to do the job, broke our sewer line (along with the lines of many others of our neighbors). We complained to one of Vertical Underground's managers who was working on fixing our neighbor's line, and he informed us that they would fix the problem and that we didn't need to worry. In order to do the repair, they had to break through our concrete driveway to repair the damage and re-pour the damaged section of the driveway. The problem seemed to be fixed for a few months, however, these past weeks, we have been experiencing the same issues that initially led us to the discovery of the damage they caused. That is, our drains are not draining, toilets are not draining and water is returning through the shower drain. We would like to request that CBU send someone to inspect the situation because we believe that the problem was not fixed properly. Thank you.

We completed the inspection of our sewer main today. The sewer main in front of your house was clear. We cannot see vary far into your lateral, but did see a "chunk" of material 2-3' into the pipe. This is the best information we can provide at this time. I would reach back out to the fiber company and request our lateral be videoed by a private contractor.

Mr. Sauer, The CBU cannot inspect your private sewer lateral. We can and will inspect our sewer in your area. I will ask my team to inspect the main sewer running out in front of your home.
