Sewer Problems (Sanitary Sewers)
2203 E Moores PIKE
- Case Date:
- 4/3/2022
The sewer lines for 2201, 2203, and 2207 connect together and then jointly connect to city sewer. As this was done sometime in the 1950s, is this up to current city codes? Over the past few years there have been a few sewer back-ups as a result of all lines being connected. Is there a grant available to the homeowners that will allow each of them to disconnect from each other and connect to city sewer individually? Please contact Nancy Goswami 812-679-0131 (2203), Kevin McWhirter 812-322-3553 (2201). Contact information for other homeowner is unknown to me.

out walking tonight (7/10) I saw that there was a very large backyard graduation party taking place at 2207 E Covenanter in Bloomington, at a conservative estimate 50-60 people ranging from teenagers to senior citizens and not a single mask that I could see...playing tennis and generally socializing in a way that didn't seem particularly cautious
just thought you should know, because if there's an outbreak in town those are folks you're going to want to talk to

Bloomington Sanitation Department,
At 3 AM of Wednesday, August 8, 2020 on the morning of trash pickup day at 1412 S. Winfield Rd., 47401, my wife was up watching a recorded news program when a crash was heard from the bottom of our driveway where the cans awaited pickup. The bang was followed by a loud dragging sound. She walked to the bottom of the drive and found the landscaping can in the recycling can were gone.
She woke me and we searched for the cans until we found them three doors south on the Boulevard of the Southwest corner of the Moores Pike roundabout.
At first I thought at 3 AM, it must've been a drunk. However, the more I thought about it, the more unlikely I thought it would be that a drunk would be able to retain the cans for 50 yards.
Retaining the cans brings me to the question which I thought worth sharing with the city. I cannot think of any way to carry the cans that far without damaging one's vehicle other than the way the city does it – hooking a lifter up under the bar built-into the can.
If a prankster is trying to develop a "trick-or-treat… Throw your garbage in the streets" system, the potential chaos it could create for the city sanitation system seems to me to be huge and I would recommend that the city proactively try to answer the following questions.
1.) Have any of the lifting mechanisms used by the city trucks ever disappeared?
2.) Since this system is presumably used throughout the country, can such a lifter be bought online?
3.) Are there any YouTube videos about how to make a lifter that someone could have been testing on Winfield Road?
4.) Has the company from which the city purchased the cans and lifters had experience with cans being fiddled with when they are sitting ducks beside the road the night before garbage pickup? If so, what did these other municipalities do about it?
I got my cans and my trash back in time to leave it out for pickup, but the next victim might not be so lucky.
Thanks for your attention,
Eric Mjolsnes
