Sewer Problems (Sanitary Sewers)

919 N Orris DR

Case Date:
6/10/2020

Strong sewage smell in our kitchen, laundry room and bathroom. The city has come out every year to clear the main sewer pipe running under the easement between our house and the neighbors house. IMPORTANT: Last year the city ran a snake and said there were no blockages. The problem persisted and they came back with a remote camera and saw "All kinds of roots creating blockages" from my neighbors tree. Please learn from the mistakes of last year and bring the video equipment first this year...PLEASE!

Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)

913 W Gourley PIKE

Case Date:
2/27/2024

For years there has been a strong sewer smell in the this area. (I have paid for plumbers to examine my house and the problem is not in the house.) As the cable workers have been laying the cable, I asked various if they also smelled the sewer odor and if they knew where it might be coming from. There were three basic answers: (1) A "lift station" in one of the drains may be faulty; (2) the terrain where sewage may back up at the crest of the hill; and (3) the manhole cover between houses at 909 West Gourley Pike is old and may be corroded so that the sewer gas is able to escape.

Potholes, Other Street Repair

904 N Woodlawn AVE

Case Date:
1/28/2024

Complex, long-standing problem: water pools and has nowhere to drain to on Woodlawn just north of 12th Street and up against the south side of the RR tracks. This isn't such an issue when the temperature is reasonable, but when it freezes it poses a sliding risk when the train is approaching. Major accident just waiting to happen.

Sewer Problems (Sanitary Sewers)

788 N Oolitic Dr, Bloomington, IN 47404, USA

Case Date:
11/29/2020

Once again, i do laundry, and hete comes CBU to the sewer pump station. I reported this previously and was told it was routine maintenance. Routine maintenance in the evening into the dark. Now, the gentleman is here on the afternoon of the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Don't try telling me that it's routine maintenance. I have also had to report odor from this pump station. We have owned this property since before sewer was even here. We have been around that pump station a long time. These things didn't start happening until i added my new house to the system. There is also a house with six kids across the street and new building around me. I have been in the construction industry for over 20 years so i am not uneducated as to these systems. I am also aware of the fact that this area is not going to get the attention the East side or Southeast side of town would get. I think Facebook and HT readers would understand that as well. The developer of Union at Crescent might like to know it to. If there is a capacity problem, please fix it.
