Hello, I am a property owner in the shadow creek subdivision and wish to file an anonymous complaint against the owner of the property at 1527 s andrew circle. I could not figure out how to manipulate your location map above so please ignore that address. I am building a house on the adjoining lot and am concerned about the serious flooding every time it rains. It has gotten worse since additional dirt has been added to the lot , and since i last reported the problem to the city last summer. Please see the picture attached and make a drive by for yourself to verify. It may overflow its banks tonight with the heavy rain that is predicted. It could flood my basement and the downhill neighbor potentially. But more important to the neighborhood and the city are the potentials for mosquitoes and even children or animals getting hurt in there. It should be an easy fix for the builder to rework the dirt he put in there to fill in the low spots and raise the grade for natural gravity drainage until he actually builds a house there. Thank you for your prompt attention to the issue . It seems to have been ignored after my previous complaint which was before the previous owner(developer ?) sold it. Thanks, Derk brewer

Good Morning, I called on Saturday night and spoke to someone, did not get their name, via the emergency number. He recommended I contact CBU on monday but I did not get to it until this morning. Situation is this: 6:15pm - My son and friend are playing near the creek/drainage ditch between Elliston Drive and E Dunstan. All of a sudden a big wash of water comes running down the ditch and proceeded to run for about 2 hours. Could be 3-6" deep roughly, best estimate. I called in and gentleman I spoke with asked that I take a video, which I did and can provide. I traced it back to a culvert outlet which was coming from Allendale. Looked in the inlets on Allendale and could see water was coming from the north and S. Dunstan. I walked up and could see evidence of water dripping from a truck (similar to the drips off the garbage truck). The drip path got bigger and wider until I saw water spill surrounding the top of a manhole in the middle of S. Dunstan at the dead end. I did also notice that there is a storm pond that was half full of water in the Acadia Court apartments. I do not recall enough recent rain to have filled that pond but it looked almost recently drained but hard to say. That's the story. I wanted to report because it seemed an odd time and weather for this to be happening. The water seemed odorless and in hindsight I wish I had got a sample. There may still be some pools with water if you want to investigate. The attached map shows the rough path and the smaller circle to the north is the manhole and the larger the detention pond behind the apartments. The smaller circle to the south is the culvert pipe outlet.

Water runoff is still an issue. I have reported this before and it is causing damage to my yard and basement. This area really needs a sidewalk or curb with storm drains.

Part of the Sheridan Creek drainage ditch has eroded or crumbled with asphalt breaking off and going who knows where. The problem areas that seem to need at least spot repaving are at the front of part of 1340 E Sheridan and the Sheridan part of 1000 S Jordan Ave

The city has come out and measured several times for a culvert to be installed in front of my driveway. The problem is that the street is higher than my driveway and this house is at the bottom of a hill. When it rains all the debris from the street and houses above me come into my driveway. There is so much water that my basement can flood and the water level can easily reach several feet deep. I have at the moment blocks of stones in front of my driveway so that the debris and water keeps going down Mitchel street instead of blocking the small drainage grates that are in driveway. Sincerely, Philippe Garnier

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

The culvert where the creek from "The Fields" crosses under Moores Pike is beginning to fail. The shoulder plus a few inches into the roadway on the south side of the street is beginning to collapse. Past efforts to shore up the roadway have involved dumping rip-rap to prevent undercutting of the roadway but this might be more serious. I noticed this in the evening and could not get a decent photo.
