From Reddit Bloomington: Fiber cables damaging sewer lines We live right next to Bryan Park. About a week ago our toilet backed up, and after multiple visits from our (very honest and reasonable) plumber, we discovered that the city's fiber optic internet contractor had carelessly run an optic cable directly through our sewer line. This caused a ton of debris to get into our drain pipe and completely clog the pipe, necessitating a $10k repair. I called the city and apparently, this is happening to people all over town. (The person in the utilities office said I was the third person to call today with this exact problem, and our plumber said that this contractor got thrown out of Carmel for damaging so many sewer lines).
During the rain event on Wednesday evening (Jan 18), I notice significant water standing at the NE corner of 3rd and College. Several cars, including mine, moved into the center lane (west bound) on 3rd, to ensure that the rising water would not come into contact with the car. Can the drain at that NE corner/intersection be checked/cleared? This is the second time I have experienced this at that intersection, this year.
On December there was a frozen pipe that leaked into the kitchen floor and not into the sewer. Can you please look into this and consider giving me a credit? If you notice my previous bill, it was 103.38. Thanks,
Nearly every year, in early February, the sewer backs up into my basement. The engineer reported that it is caused by large volumes of grease dumped into the sewer after Chinese New Year, then the cold, causing fatbergs to form just beyond the access at the end of the street. My basement is the lowest, so I get hit. In recent years, preventative cleaning has been scheduled–last year it did not back up! I'd like to make sure that happens again, to prevent a fifth annual sewer flood at my house. Thank you!
It seems like raw sewage as well as toilet paper is coming out of this clean out for 414 s Lincoln street rental property. This seems like the second one of these situations in this Lincoln and University location.
Sewer water is coming up through my basement floor drain due likely to a blockage somewhere in the sewer pipe line.
sanitary sewer back up.
Low water pressure for last 2 years. Worse lately. All faucets. Plumber cannot address issue
I realize the city does not care or maintain E Canada Drive, however it is unsafe to have vehicles parked so close to the stop sign at this intersection. There are no marking on the road or curd to tell drivers they cannot park there, so they park there daily. Something needs to be done to prevent any accidents at this intersection for drivers who are unable to see around parked vehicles.
