Water form the neighborhood is flowing into my yard causing floods and interior damage once saturated. I have a lot of video evidence. I am trying to repair damage on my own, but I can't keep up.
Large pool of water at 908 S. Larkspur Lane, Bloomington. There is no drainage. (I could not choose location on your map because every time I try to zoom in it zooms all the way out to whole globe view. Also, I couldn't upload photo because you don't allow uploaded from phone gallery. Only option it gave me was upload from Box app and that wouldn't work. Y'alls website sucks)
Our neighborhood has had major issues with storm water for several years now, and we'd like to have someone come assess the area to see if there is a breakdown in the storm drain system in this area. The flooding issue begins between 3525 E. Third St. and 3520 E. Park Ln., and builds to the west along the property lines. During times of heavy rain (like we had over the weekend), many of the neighborhood back yards become flooded, and water tends to sit for several days afterwards. I'm sorry I didn't get a picture of the water during the rains yesterday, but will work to submit one during the next rainfall. There appears to be a perfectly adequate stormwater drain in front of 3508 E. Park Ln, but there doesn't appear to be a ditch that will carry the water from between our homes to that stormwater drain. Some help would be greatly appreciated, as we have had water backup in our basement in years past from this issue. Thanks very much for your prompt attention and help. Best regards, Dave & Eileen Henthorn
Water appears failing to drain at ne corner of n Sheffield Dr and e Morningside Dr intersection. Curb too low? Dunno.
Hello, I live at 3408 E Olcott Blvd. There is a storm drain on the street between 3408 and 3412 that runs under my property and opens into a drainage ditch behind my shed. This pipe is completely clogged with leaves and other debris. Is clearing this pipe something the city can take care of? Thanks! Andy
Curb and gutter are wet for 50-100 yards on the west side of the street. It appears the water is "moving" to the nearest underground drain.
Utilities removed trees along Graham drive. Drastically increased drainage in our yards in Winslow Farms. A ditch was to be dug in 2017....We were notified 'ran out of time to complete' last year. Needed ASAP. Worked with engineer Phil P.
It is nice to have the sewer drains cleared. But they leave the leaves next to the drain and the next time it rains it clogs the drains immediately. It also kills the grass. All for drains at this intersection actually 6 trains at this intersection have a pile of leaves next to them. It was my understanding that those who cleared the storm drains were also supposed to take the debris with them. Please advise.

this is a follow-up from a previous report. The resolution I got about having leaves and debris near the storm sewer drains was that they would pick up the debris as part of the leaf collection. This is problematic in that it may be eight weeks before our leaves are picked up. In the meantime the grass will die like it did last year the pile will grow like it did last year. Last year I had a 3 by 4 by 3 feet high pile by one of the drains and every time it rained it clog the drain cuz it was picked up and moved back into the drain. I am at the bottom of Three Hills and we have consistent of flooding problems here in the fall. If the leaves are not removed along with the twigs and the papers and everything else that flows downhill we're going to continually have flooding problems. So for me saying I have to wait 2 months for this small pile of leaves at each of six trains to be picked up is irresponsible. If they can move it 6 inches they can put it in the back of their truck. If I don't get a better resolution I will be escalating this problem up the chain of command. Thank you very much. please get back to me as soon as you can.
