Subsiding utility cut on the 100 block of E First, between Washington and Walnut.
This is a pothole / drain in a parking spot in the parking lot next to Penn Station near Kirkwood. A week ago, I pulled into this parking spot and my car dropped down, then slammed into the curb in front of the drain. The next day, I went out to my car and had a completely flat tire. It showed slits in the sidewall where pressure from the curb caused my tire to explode. I then had to spend $165 on a brand new tire even after having already bought brand new tires 2 months prior. I am incredibly upset with the city of Bloomington about this.
Storm drain on W. 2nd st facing S. College is clogged
Yesterday, during the huge mid-day rainstorm, water came up through the floor drain in our basement at 2638 East Dekist Street. It had a sewage odor and was muddy looking and reached a level of about 4 inches, covering the entire floor and soaking everything. The basement toilet also had dirty water come into it. I called the city utilities hotline and reported the incident twice, speaking to the same person each time. The water receded after a couple hours. We have yet to assess the damage and start to clean up. Last year on 2/11/18 our basement toilet erupted (see case #163027). We had a plumber verify that the city sewer was the source of the issue. We did not claim any damages, yet the city did not reimburse us the cost of the plumbing assessment. We would appreciate someone responding to this current incident.
A year ago the fire hydrant on the north west corner of my lot was changed out for another one and 4 squares of concrete were taken out and replaced. No one came back to d repair the damage done to the lawn and fill in with dirt and plant grass. There is an 8-10 inch drop off the edge of the sidewalk where someone could break their ankle if they fell off the sidewalk. The fire hydrant is unusually tall as it stands on top of a giant pipe that sticks out of the ground 10-12 inches. I don’t believe this was some of your best work.
Help - Runoff backup issues! Insufficient runoff drainage on the East side of S. Meadowbrook Dr in Parkridge East between 111 S. Meadowbrook drive and the 101 S Meadowbrook Dr causing significant backups and flooding for residents. Particularly the runoff drainage ditch is blocking the culvert in front of 111 S. Meadowbrook. Picture attached. Request the drainage ditch be deepened in this area so that the culvert is unblocked and provides sufficient slope to keep water flowing toward E. Morningside runoff drainage.
Storm sewer 4th and College
clogged drainage ditch
Downed trees are restricting the flow of stormwater runoff through the ditch, close to where it intersects the B Line Trail. This is causing the adjacent lot to flood during periods of heavy rain.
