There is water that smells like sewage bubbling up out of the drainage pipes. I've seen it literally bubbling up as if under pressure so I believe it comes from some kind of underground pipe but I can't be sure. The area is always wet as a result and smells.

Sewage backup after underground utilities work in my yard. Possibly a broken sewer line from the right of way to the sewer main. I first reported this the day of the water main break next door(205 S Hillsdale Rd) to the city workers outside my house. This is now critical. I have called several times. The last time was Friday, Nov. 25th, 2022.

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.

My wife and I are owners of a home at 806 W. 4th St., here in Bloomington. We have owned this home since approximately 2006. Recently I had a conversation with John Kirtland, who is the owner of a rental property at 112 S. Maple. This property backs directly onto our Eastern property line to the rear of our home. Apparently, these two houses share a sanitary sewer line at some point, with the Maple St. house connecting downstream of our line, before connecting to city sewer line. This is a best guess, as I am not sure it has been verified. Mr. Kirtland is apparently having plumbing issues with his rental property, and is proposing that he disconnect our line. Understandably, I am concerned that this is not a solution that works for our house. I assume that this current sanitary sewer hook up for these homes has been in place for nearly 100 years, as our home was built around 1920. We have had the clay tile in our backyard dug and replaced with plastic a couple of years ago, although we only went for about 60 ft., until we could connect to functioning line. It has occurred to me that no action should be taken until CBU has been made aware of the situation and given your recommendation. Thank you for your assistance, George Bull and Faye Mark
