City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Submission Received #206781

City Construction Projects:

Other: Big hole in ROW around water meter. Very close to main gas line running under sidewalk, but the utilities have not been marked. Seems like there is a State law requiring diggers to contact 811 to locate. https://indiana811.org/resources/full-law/

City of Bloomington Utilities recently replaced a water meter at this location but did not do any excavation. This was a "pre-dug" job for CBU, where a contractor or homeowner is responsible for exposing underground infrastructure at their own expense to provide access for our crew. In this situation, the contractor or homeowner is responsible for complying with applicable laws for excavation and would be liable for any damage that results from non-compliance. CBU does not oversee gas mains, and any specific concerns about those would need to be addressed to the gas provider. Thank you for your concern.

I have responded in regards to ROW hazard concerns, and hoping you can direct this to the appropriate party for concerns about locates. Thank you.

City of Bloomington Utilities was onsite when I stopped by and were actively working on a sewer lateral and water meter. They had utilized 4 foot caution fencing and stakes to block off the open trench and a 4 x 8 piece of plywood to cover the area across the sidewalk to maintain pedestrian access. Sending to CBU to respond in regards to the gas line and utility locates.
