Utility drain at the intersection of East Southdowns Drive and South Woodlawn (across the street from the Woodlawn Shelter) requires someone to remove all the leaves and stuff from the drawing screen. Every time the drain is cleaned, the leaves and stuff are never removed, only raked away. Please remove all the debris so it does not clog the drain again. Thank you.
There is a storm drain right by our restaurant that has a really bad smell coming out of it. I didn't know who to contact about this issue.
Complainant states that the culvert on the south side of 420 N Hillsdale is broken and floods area.
Drainage pipes that run under the railroad tracks are blocked up again. I cleared as much as I could from the inflows but I can see more material lodged inside. Hope we can get a grate installed at some point to prevent future blockages. Opposite the B-Line trail at lamppost 157. Thanks!
There are two pipes that run under the railroad tracks, opposite the B-Line trail at lamppost 157, that are part of the stormwater drainage system for the surrounding neighborhoods. They both appear to be almost completely blocked up, effectively creating a stagnant pond on the north side of the tracks. I tried clearing debris from around the mouth with a rake, but I believe the blockages are deeper inside the pipes. It would be good if this could get cleaned out before mosquito breeding season begins. It might also be a good idea to install a grate to prevent larger debris from getting lodged inside these pipes in the future. Thanks!
Overflowing sanitary sewer draining directly into storm sewer system with direct route to lake Griffy.
The 4th Street alleyway behind Chipotle on Kirkwood is flooded into the parking lots due to clogged storm drains.
Many storm drains and curbs look like this in neighborhood after winter going into weekend of massive rain. The no leaf collection is a fine idea, but there needs to be follow-up street sweeping or repercussions for people who don’t clear their curbs and drains.
2 Storm drains full of sand
The city of Bloomington Winslow Woods property behind my home has a culvert that is completely obstructed by downed trees. When it rains, the storm drainage from Azalea Lane runs into this intermittent creek in the woods and through the culverts. When the water cannot get through the culverts, it starts to flood our backyards. Because of additional downed trees before the culverts silt and clay has started to accumulate and further block water flow. I have requested in the past that the city take care of the trees on their property and the storm drainage flow from Azalea Lane. I could also see a removal of the culverts as there is no reason they are there.
