Hello- The drain in our cul de sac regularly is clogged and I've written about this before. The pipe which runs from the drain to the city easement drainage creek, runs through our back yard. The city sent out a crew several years ago and Phil Peden emailed with pictures saying there were multiple breaches as someone (before we moved here in 2011) connected to the pipe with gutter discharges or something. He said it was our responsibility to fix the pipe, but since it deals with city water using our property, I was hoping the city could help us. We have regularly had water in our basement since moving here and have spent thousands of dollars drying it. The whole water from the neighborhood comes towards us, as well as the golf course water down the service road in our backyard. Our neighbors' yard along creek is overwhelmed with water as well. For some reason, I'm unable to attach a video of the creek from the last big rain on May 20, so if you give me an email, I can send it that way. Thanks for your help .Kevin Murphy 917 374 8069

Along the northern property line of 2520 N Fritz Drive a serious flooding problem occurs each time there is heavy rainfall. Flooding occurs in my back yard. I have taken videos of this problem. The rainfall from North Dunn Street cascades westward down onto the property behind my home. That business has a large parking lot. That allows water from Dunn Street to run onto my property. If the trees are removed and a street is added on the property at 2511 N Dunn Street, the problem that now exists for my back yard will increasingly become worse. I have added several loads of topsoil to the back yard due to erosion and to protect the home's foundation. At the front of my property, I also have flooding issues. Fritz Drive has a download slope towards N Walnut Street. Floodwaters run into my driveway and erode that area. I have had landscapers add several loads of topsoil and install drainage pipes to relieve some of the water issues. These floodwaters from North Dunn into our neighborhood are channeled westward beneath North Walnut into Cascades Park. There are issues of pollution with these floodwaters. Health issues should be considered for our community members.

More than 15 years ago, a wide utility cut was made in front of our property at 3052 N Ramble Rd W in Blue Ridge Addition. We were told then that the street would be repaved and the gutter corrected. The path of the gutter to the storm drain at the corner never allowed the water to go to the drain because it dipped and didn't allow the water to travel because of that. It also stopped at our mailbox and creates quite the ice pond in the winter. When they came to repave our street, I spoke with the gentlemen doing the paving and asked if they were going to fix the gutter as well. (And let it be said how grateful I am for the repaving!!! Bravo!!!). I was told that was a different department. I had quit cleaning the gutter , tho I had kept it clean for years, as I grew weary of the bad street crumbling into the gutter. I was not going to clean it of street crumblings and pay to have it taken away in my trash anymore. Now the gutter, having been cleaned to apply the asphalt, still does not run to the drain because the slope has never been addressed. Why they didn't see this when they were going through the neighborhood fixing gutters, I don't know. I never saw the gutter crew around our property so I didn't ask. Can something be done? I don't like having guests parking in a lake. And the winter danger to come is not acceptable. Thank you for anything you can do for this problem. I'm happy to discuss this with anyone appropriate to the matter.

Any time it rains, a large body of standing water forms in the alleyway behind 530 N Lincoln St, near our apartment complex dumpster that makes it hazardous to walk through, drive through, use the dumpster, use the alleyway, and this could potentially be harmful for the structure of Stonechruch Apartments. There were just stormwater improvements to Lincoln St between 7th and 8th, is it possible to install a stormwater drainage grate here?

Several months ago a new culvert was installed underneath Browncliff which was intended to help the property across the street drain more effectively. Yesterday, in the torrential rain, the sheer volume of water became a literal fast flowing river across several properties on the west side of Browncliff Lane. this amount of water can't possibly be due to residential properties on Browncliff, Matlock and Headley. my guess is that it is actually unmanaged runoff from the IU golf course, which means it is probably full of fertilizers and pesticides. Since there is no effective water management anywhere on these roads, the water becomes a river, then a lake. I do not believe this is a natural floodplain, (since water on my property seems to naturally flow through a natural swale). This seems to be unmanaged water from other areas that simply hasn't been dealt with properly.

There is a longstanding and ongoing drainage issue affecting the area in front of 3504 and 3505 S Westminster Way in Bloomington, IN. Every time it rains, significant flooding occurs on our street, making it unsafe for residents to leave their homes and hazardous for vehicles attempting to pass through the area. On previous occasions we cad cases of drivers have become stranded in the large pool of water that forms directly in front of these properties. This persistent flooding presents a serious public safety concern for both residents and motorists. In addition, we are living with the constant fear that continued inadequate drainage may eventually result in flooding damage to our properties. Despite the recurring nature of this problem, the existing street drains have not been properly cleared or improved, and additional drainage infrastructure appears necessary to address the issue effectively. We respectfully request that the City take immediate action to investigate and resolve this matter as soon as possible.
