Dear City Department / Fleet Supervisor,
I am writing to report a near-miss incident involving a City vehicle that occurred on 2/16/2026 at approximately 9:41am at the intersection of Stipp Rd, Handy Rd, and Moffett Rd.
I was traveling from Stipp Rd toward Moffett Rd when a City vehicle pulled out from Handy Rd onto Moffett Rd at the same time I was proceeding through. It appeared that the driver may have misjudged the right-of-way or believed there was a stop sign controlling my direction of travel. As a result, I was forced to swerve and slam on my brakes to avoid a collision.
Had I not reacted immediately, I likely would have either struck the City vehicle or ended up in the ditch on the right side of the roadway. The situation was extremely close and could have resulted in significant vehicle damage or serious injury.
The City vehicle was described as:
Vehicle type/color: Gray Ford Escape
Plate Number: 100008
I am submitting this report out of concern for public safety and to help prevent a future accident by this individual. Please let me know if you need any additional information from me.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Our water was shut off for what I am assuming was a water main issue. We were given no information on next steps. I do not see a boil order the website, but our water is brown, low pressure and sputtering. I would just like be informed. Thank you

Re: After being denied a solution, I would like to clarify that this is CITY property. I do not understand how and why I should “contact the county regarding this” because the City of Bloomington owns this property. As an employee am I supposed to contact the County regarding issues at my workplace? No! That’s why I’m filling out this report. There is an invasive species on the CITY OF BLOOMINGTON’s property of which they have vowed to remove in recent initiatives. This is the responsibility of the city, not the county. I feel like you didn’t even actually read what I wrote and just looked at the address and said “NOPE! Not my responsibility”
Bradford Pears (invasive species) located at Monroe Water Treatment Plant. The two trees are located at the discharge point of a surface drain. More importantly, the trees are located directly adjacent to the Hoosier National Forest, which is just a mere 50ft away (across Shady Side Dr). Currently, the trees are bearing fruit. It appears that these fruits' seeds have the opportunity to traverse the slope and end up in our watershed, tainting the Hoosier National Forest, as an invasive species. The trees should be removed ASAP, as part of the City's initiative to systematically remove Bradford Pear trees from public property. Given the proximity to the National Forest and in the confines of the Lake Monroe watershed, this is a priority site.

Maybe send this to the mayor's office and CBU doesn't seem to be responding. There are numerous reports of water, color and quality issues across the city. Can someone please issue a statement about what is going on? It is not an isolated location and has been going on for many days. We deserve to know.

City of Bloomington truck 592 is continually parked at a residence on Beechwood Dr. in Ellettsville. This truck looks to be used by an employee for personal use. Numerous city assets have been utilized at this Ellettsville residence in the past including trucks, trailers, and landscaping equipment. Hard to understand why a city asset would be used to commute from Ellettsville to Bloomington and be parked overnight at the residence for longterm use. Seems like fraud and abuse of taxpayer funded resources.

I had a very negative interaction with a Customer Service Representative named Jordan from the City of Bloomington Utilities on Friday, March 28, 2025 at 3:30pm. The employee was incredibly rude and very dismissive.

What is going on with the sewerage treatment plant? The odor is terrible and getting worse. I don't want to vomit but it is close. It is bad today. Something is not working properly.
