Sewage is backing up into house drains

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
There is a white pipe in the woods behind the 2nd building in the Arbors apartment that appears to be spilling raw sewage. My address is 1527 S. Arbors Lane.
Strong sewage smell in our kitchen, laundry room and bathroom. The city has come out every year to clear the main sewer pipe running under the easement between our house and the neighbors house. IMPORTANT: Last year the city ran a snake and said there were no blockages. The problem persisted and they came back with a remote camera and saw "All kinds of roots creating blockages" from my neighbors tree. Please learn from the mistakes of last year and bring the video equipment first this year...PLEASE!
Sewage spewed out of pvc near sidewalk.
Sewersmell is coming into the house. The stool flushes well and is not clogged or stopped up. What should I do?
