2 pipes busted in my apartments due to the copper pipes and the cold which resulted to 50 gallons being added to my water bill. First I was wanting to see if we could get some of the taken off cause it wasn’t our fault and set up a payment plan if I do have to pay the increased amount.
No water
Back yard is a drainage area. Neighbors property has created a bottle neck and the force of the water has exposed Underground utility lines
After my refridgerator ice maker stopped working and the water dispenser slowed, I discovered that the water line to fridge was releasing water filled with what appear to be dirt particles. These were clogging the refridgerator water filter, causing the above-mentioned problems. Currently, this appears to be the only spigot with water quality issues, but it is still a concern.
The bike path on the side of Arlington Ave. between 17th and North st. has some very rough sections and pot holes that hold water making navigation difficult and dangerous after a storm.
The water is tasting and smelling bad again. Just curious if it is the algae again or if it is something else. If it is the algae again how long will it take for water to be "normal" again? I am using a filter and still it is un-drinkable. Thank you for all you do! :)
Water from the tap tastes like dirt and mold, even after Brita filtering. Hot water coming from the tap smells worse than cold water. Drinking this disgusting water is nauseating. Can more PAC be added to rid the water of MIB/geosmin? Water affects everything we do: drinking, cooking, making good coffee (seriously!). It’s more than an “aesthetic” issue and future reports should avoid minimizing what many experience as a true issue. Taste and odor of drinking water matter, too.
Water has smelled horrible and tasted awful since 9/10. Water sitting in our toilets smells. The taste is bad.
Two most recent bills have charged us for using 4,000-5,000 gallons of water, and therefore charging roughly $100. The bill for September was $106.42 and the bill for October was $93.15. This is for a two-person house that uses the same, if not less, of an average amount of water per month. I called customer service after the first bill, but the lady I spoke with was not very helpful and recommended we wait until our next bill. According to her sources, any leakage or problem that resulted in such a high bill seemingly "fixed itself" and she did not provide any other alternatives. Come to find out that the next bill is just as high and we have no choice but to pay (again) with no resolutions. Apparently, Bloomington Utilities does not provide any services to check for any leaks or problems.
There is water constantly flowing out of the ground on the alley east of 213 E. Cottage Grove about 40 feet north of the street. The water is bubbling up and flowing south to the street then flowing east to Lincoln. When it was cold recently a glacier formed there that was dangerous to walk or drive on. It i now getting swampy there - still dangerous but in a different way. Both City Utilities and property owner were notified, but it is not clear if anyone has determined where the water is coming from. Good to check the meters in the area, e.g., 701 N. Lincoln, 700 N. Washington, 706 N. Washington for any unexpectedly high usage.
