Soggy grass - pooping water in our backyard.
There appears to be a potential sewage leak reaching the surface in the front yard of a house in the Sherwood Oaks Neighborhood. During dry weather a black liquid is visible in the grass and has run across the sidewalk. The area of the leak is circled in orange on the photo. The address is 1339 East Allendale Drive. The sidewalk is on the north/west side of the street.
Third year in a row (2/8/2018 # 163027, 2/8/2019 #167355), when the fatberg grows just downstream from me, the city delivers hundreds of gallons of sewage into my basement. This year was a new high water: 6-7 inches. It is sewer, not my house backing up... It is because of a flaw in the connections just downstream from me. The city has closed the previous reports as "Resolved" without my consent. This is obviously not resolved. I'd much rather have Bloomington spend money on fixing this, rather than attorney fees, but without quick resolution, this year, I will proceed.
My house is at 2308 E Linden Hill Drive in the Stands. In the open area behind my house, which borders on the Stands Drive there is a manhole labelled "sanitary sewer". Nearby that manhole there are 3 or 4 apparent sink holes (one about 18 inches deep) that seem to have formed recently. They may have no connection with the sewer system, but I suggest that they be checked out to make certain that there is not a leak of some kind, that could cause more damage. My cell phone number is 732-939-9426. Daniel Watts
Very strong sewage smell coming from behind the new Hayden Flats apartments. I'm smelling it while on the Rail Trail. It's been happening for at least a week. There is a slow moving stagnant-ish stream there but this is definitely a raw sewage smell.
This is more likely a Watermain problem, but there’s an overflow at this water valve access
See case #187164: Water is still flowing from house. The stream begins in the alley coming from the NE corner of the house, then moving south down the alley to Cottage Grove. The sewage water then travels east along the north edge of Cottage Grove to Lincoln. The sewage water then forms a pool on the NW corner of Lincoln/CG. The sewage water then crosses CG and travels south along the west edge of Lincoln until it meets 10th Street, where it crosses Lincoln to the NW corner of Lincoln and 10th, where is has formed a second pool. The property owner claims there is no water coming from their house. Please test the water for microorganisms and when the tests come back positive, inform the property owner of their obligations if they want to continue to rent out houses that used to be people's homes.
