Other: This is in reference to our neighbors which I think is 1857 E Cheyanne Ln. What is the proper way to request consideration for a new ordinance? Our neighbors installed a pool on the west side of their property and placed the pool pump and pool heater on the east side of the property. The problem is we now have noise in our yard, on our deck, and in our house when the pool heater is active. The heater is louder than the standard pump and the rumble is unfortunately a frequency that penetrates walls. I think it is unrealistic to have to hear the low rumble of the equipment, particularly inside our house, but it is also frustrating that the deck and yard are also affected. Our primary living space and windows are on the south side which puts us in close proximity to the equipment. The other night when it was cool we wanted to open our windows, but the pool heater was on, so we didn't. I think Bloomington needs an ordinance to require pool equipment be enclosed under certain conditions, particularly in neighborhoods where lot sizes are smaller and house density is higher. The pool heater will likely be active from April through October, though I'm hopeful it will run less as the temperatures increase. Still, situations like these shouldn't impose on neighbors. Last weekend, it ran most of the time throughout the afternoon and into the early evening hours, but it comes on whenever it determines the pool temperature has dropped.
