Sewer Problems (Sanitary Sewers)

Yesterday, during the huge mid-day rainstorm, water came up through the floor drain in our basement at 2638 East Dekist Street. It had a sewage odor and was muddy looking and reached a level of about 4 inches, covering the entire floor and soaking everything. The basement toilet also had dirty water come into it. I called the city utilities hotline and reported the incident twice, speaking to the same person each time. The water receded after a couple hours. We have yet to assess the damage and start to clean up. Last year on 2/11/18 our basement toilet erupted (see case #163027). We had a plumber verify that the city sewer was the source of the issue. We did not claim any damages, yet the city did not reimburse us the cost of the plumbing assessment. We would appreciate someone responding to this current incident.

Hi, I'd like to report a sewer problem. There is a steady stream of water flowing out of a manhole. It leaks across the sidewalk and then onto Rogers where it flows into the storm sewer drain. It's on the northeast corner at the intersection of South Rogers and Coolidge. I just wanted to alert the utilities department about the issue. Thanks.

Both 423 S. Jordan and 424 S. Jordan (directly across the street) are having slow rate of drainage into the sewer. Two weeks ago our house (423 S. Jordan) which has a newer PVC drainage line connecting to the main was cleared and no major blockages noted by the plumber. Now that both sides of the street are experiencing the same problem, suspect the problem maybe in the sewer line under the street. There is also some water visible in the street against the curb at 424 S. Jordan that could be related (there has been no precip today).

The gentleman second from the right put his cigarette butt down the storm sewer. I don't mind him smoking, but putting that kind of carcinogen down the storm sewer is ecologically dangerous. please let him know this is unacceptable. thank you

I live at 2412 Brown Ave. We are not on a septic, and have checked under our house and there does not appear to be a problem there. However, coming from our front yard there seems to be a sewage smell. With all the rain it has become more prevalent. I am wondering what we do and if the city can check it out to see if there is a problem with a city sewage pipe near our house. Thank you, Kelli Debikey

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
