The asphalt is coming up around the drain and frequently creates blockages that leaves and other debris easily stack on. Then the drain clogs and floods our driveway and mailbox area.
One of the great covers on the storm sewer has gone missing. I’m going to see if I can get a hold of the police or someone because it’s the farmers market and I’m concerned that someone might fall in there. It’s about a 4 foot drop and it’s right off the curb, right next to the B line (space just to the north)
According to the city code, the alleyway is maintained by the city. It is public and not private. This particular section has a problem with stormwater that pools and creates a large puddle for the tenants and service vehicles.
This has probably been mentioned before. Every time it rains, a large pool of water forms on the south side of 12th Street across from the Dominoes parking lot. It's not so bad when it's warm enough, but it's really slippery and dangerous when it freezes. Can a drain be put in right there?
The culvert at Davis Street and South Washington - between South Washington and South Lincoln - is overgrown with vegetation and needs to be cleaned out, otherwise it blocks run-off and a heavy rain will cause flooding. It has happened before. Thank you for taking care of this!
Flooding/Standing water accumulates between the street and our fence. Looks like this may be part of the easement. This photo was taken in January, but it is a continuous issue whenever it rains. Can you please contact me to discuss this? Thank you!
I have a problem on my property with drainage. The drainage of my property runs off naturally into my neighbor's yard. His address is 3514 Morningside Drive. When a storm comes, his back yard pools and remains there for a few days until it is absorbed into the ground. I discussed with one of the neighbors how this might be resolved and volunteered to help pay for pipes that would carry the water that pools in their yard to the ditch along Morningside Drive. The neighbor didn't think that would work. Now they have dug out a deeper hole in their yard and are installing a "Sponge Garden." My understanding is that this will retain water and will not allow my yard to drain. This area has backed up into my basement in the past and flooded it. It seems to me that this will occur more easily with the installment of the "Sponge Garden." I appeal to the city of Bloomington to send engineers to come and see if there is some way that water can be drained into the ditch along Morningside Drive.
I am an Adopt-a-Drain volunteer and I just cleared NODE 3285 at the intersection of E.Southdowns Drive and S. Woodlawn Avenue. I have attached a photo and the debris I cleared is ready for removal. V/r, Mark
