https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=167365 I just opened a new ticket for the most recent flood, but I am appalled by the response "I want to try something" neglectful attitude that has led to BLACK WATER flooding during a quarantine. We are unable to deal with this extent of damage without compromising ourselves and the community.
The low area of this block (1100 South between Washington and Lincoln) is in the old alley and is first flooded by the overflowing ditch along Davis Street and then water continues to flow up from damage pipe clean outs even when water in the ditch has lowered. The water peaked at about 1 foot higher than shown in the attached picture. There is a storm sewer manhole behind this garage, but no inlets are nearby. Is sanitary sewer infiltration to blame for this? Would fixing the clean outs lead to backups inside homes?
The storm drain continues to stay clogged at 16th and Jackson. We have cleaned it 4 times this year. It. Is a drainage design flaw. Everything washes out and gets clogged .
After the heavy rain on 2/7/19 a pipe in the alley behind 1107 S Washington St continued to push water up even after the water level in the Davis street ditch went down.
When it rains, basement floods. Customer wants storm drain cleaned out.
Storm drain is clogged with mud.
Hi. On the north side of E Hillside between Weatherstone and Woodlawn there are 2 or 3 drains that look like the attached image. Also the 2 drains on the north side between Woodlawn and Park Ave also look similar. Thank you!
Customer says that a storm drain needs to be cleaned.
City crew recently dug out this drainage ditch from 19th & N.Wash St. west along 114 E 19th. Last heavy rain washed large amounts of debris and gravel down to this area. Both grates are blocked - large amt of gravel is piled up in the ditch. Storm grate that had been buried before work is completely covered. Burlap lining ditch is pulled back from flooding. Looks rough. I have more pics but could only attach one. City crew needs to see how their recent work fared.
The creek is covered in waste that looks like lint. It has been collecting over the past few weeks. There is a drainage pipe at the bridge that looks like the source. The creek bed surface is completely covered.
