We live right next to Bachelor Middle School and was not awaken during the Tornado Warning by the siren that is on the roof of Bachelor MS. We have been awaken by it more than once in the past 2 years and when it goes off it is much louder than our alarm clocks so I do not believe that all 4 of us would ever sleep through it. My request is just that the functionality of the siren at Bachelor Middle School is checked. Thank you.
I also think we can create a wonderful place for midwesterner's to come, play, spend money, and have a nice vacation spot, this I think will play a key role in the future of Bloomington.
I think it would also be very advantageous to the city to create another huge indoor mall on the west side and if possible enlarge college mall.
I have a rental property located @ 519 W Graham Plc (Timberridge condos) they have informed me that there is a water leak and the information came from your dept. I am wondering if I could get more information regarding this and if your worker turned off the water @ the meter to see the needle spinnng or if it was determined by the usage??? I called but your automated service said try back later. I was also wondering if I could get a copy of this tenants bills?? Please either call or email me. Thanks Diane Casad Landlord
When the Utilities website was reworked why did they do away with me being able to see ALL of my houses bills on ONE page instead of having to log in to each one seperately? This is Very time consuming and I thought that it was suposed to make EASIER to use>
I emailed a couple days ago about my service and having problems with my billing situations. I received one bill since I moved in and after I paid it i did not receive anymore. I was called and informed that I owe 140 odd dollars on this account, which i have no problem with since it is what is due. The only problem is the bill that I got for the first month at this location must have a different account number than where I am currently being charged because when I look up the balance it states zero. Is there anyway I can get my actual account number so I can pay this off. I tried to call today but the office was closed due to elections, but i would probably need my account number anyways to pay it. I would greatly appreciate your help in this situation, somewhere down the road things must have gotten switched around or confused. Thank you for your time. Devin Parsons 730 W. 17th St. 47404
Hello. I actually live at 410 S. Walnut, and I am beyond furious. You have workers "fixing" the roads on Walnut. They start before 7 everyday - which isn't even the problem. They shut off the water without alerting us. I have an important class I have to attend today looking horrible because I was not alerted to the fact that our water would be shut off. I am beyond disappointed. I can't even eat my breakfast this morning because oatmeal requires water. We deserve better from you.
I know I'm supposed to find my new account number on my new bill to log into the new system to pay my utilities bill. I've waited a couple of months now, but haven't received a new utility bill (via mail). I got my account # via Alan Schertz and will pay as much of my utility bill as I can when I get paid tomorrow, but I just wanted to let you know I'm not receiving my bill anymore. Thanks!
When I try to submit my message, I receive the following error: No that's wrong endpoints/open311ServerUnReachable. I am trying to submit it again. Message: I have tried to be patient and have quelled the white hot rage of frustration I've felt so many times this summer. I've NOT written at least a dozen times but after spending another morning trying to get to where I NEED to be and having every street blocked off or torn up I am going to express my displeasure. I truly view the managing of this latest street project to be irresponsible. It's one thing to be good stewards of the region's resources but it is another thing entirely to cock up the city so badly that no one can get from point A to point B and to disrupt lives for such an extended period of time. Furthermore, do you know what contributes most to depression? Randomness and uncontrollability. I feel like a dog in a learned-helplessness experiment that won't end. If you absolutely had to bring the city to a halt, could you not have mitigated it by warning us, not with some 3 line blurb in the paper which many of us don't read but loudly and profusely? It should be on every billboard in town. There should be a countdown on the city square telling people when the randomness will end. There should be huge warning signs everywhere saying "WARNING: This street will be closed from this time to that." Why aren't there policemen at 4-way stops during high traffic times? Why aren't there alternate routes? If you have so damned much extra money to tear up the city then sacrifice a street or two and use the money to minimize the sense of futility. Not everyone can add an extra 20 minutes to each trip they need to make. With a little information you could have turned it into a positive instead of a negative. Many of us are dealing with life and death situations on a daily basis. Many of us have stress-filled situations with young children, elderly parents, and jobs. Our schedules are tight and our lives are stretched thin. We're not thinking communally, we're surviving. At least with information we could plan around these wonderful improvements if not celebrate the "progress". And, to further show that I'm not a total idiot, I will concede that I know nothing about what it takes to run a city. I have no idea what challenges you are facing. Maybe all my ideas are stupid from a more informed perspective but I'm trying to give you a sense of what it feels like out here in the field. This is what John Doe trying to scrape by in his every day life is feeling. There is a limbic-gut-lizard-brain unreasoned urge to first, bite my steering wheel in half and second, to vote every government official possible out of office in the next election because they are either uncaring bastards or irresponsible dolts. This pain has been going on long enough and reinforced so intensely that it is emotionally encoded in my brain. I will have to fight against the urge the next time I vote. You really don't want people blindly voting just to get you out of office. There is enough blind voting going on as it is. If this insanity is going to last much longer, tell us. Do something, please. Thank you, Don Harris
