Report revised from 6/22
Illegal Dumping in Drainage Easement and Common Conservation areas in Gentry South- Course construction sand (over 100 square feet and up to 10" deep) plus tree brush and other mulched woody material, large insect ridden sawed cut logs (including 47" logs), small rock and trash items have been dumped into the drainage easement area behind my house (nearest the back property line). The area that serves to hold flood water is being filled in, invasives are taking hold where the sand is, and the large debris is damaging trees. I know the area was free from this for at least 6 years prior, even during record water flow. The first occurrence was in early April 2020 and happened again the next year during early April 2021. These dumps are sudden. It was free of more sand at the end of March. Then, a week later there was suddenly a large dump of sand again. I was quoted $4,000 to remove the first dump of sand. The first sand dump is not easily seen from Google maps. Additionally, someone has dumped what looks like yard mulch/waste twice in this neighborhood’s Common Area/Conservation Easement. I have some idea regarding how this is happening but will not put this information on a public report.
Drainage or Runoff
526 S Woodlawn AVE
- Case Date:
- 6/25/2021
The storm drains have been very clogged on the 500 block of south Woodlawn well before the cicadas and excessive rainfall. These need to be cleared to prevent cars from hydroplaning in standing water and “sidewalk tsunamis” that hit pedestrians when a car passes. Thank you.

Street & Traffic Signs
1307 E 2nd ST
- Case Date:
- 6/25/2021
The westbound stop sign at the intersection of s. Highland and e. 2nd street is obscured by vegetation, either on the property of 1307 e. 2nd or 527 s. Highland. I am routinely at this intersection and regularly see westbound cars slamming on their breaks, or running the intersection altogether. The plants and trees need to be cleared so the stop sign is visible at a safe distance. This is an accident just waiting to happen.

water bubbling out of sewer (water appear clear)
- Case Date:
- 6/27/2021
After the last heavy rain in Bloomington, I noticed a large tree next to Jackson Creek on The Goat Farm is going to fall. The roots are showing and the tree is leaning over the creek water. It looks very dangerous because sometimes the children come to play in the water and they may get hurt. If no action is taken, the tree will fall down into the water and block the creek water flowing and cause more damage later. Please see the picture attached above.
