Case #187594 This said the case is closed. The hole is still there ??
Constant water discharge from MC Highway Dept Outlet 43 pictured above. Inspection of first upstream storm drain (690) of outlet 43 revealed no flow. Property owner reported that CBU has previously repaired water line between outlet 43 and storm drain 690. Water discharge is at a constant rate, even during periods of dry weather.
The psi coming to the house is reading way too high--a plumber came out and measured the water pressure at 120 psi, which is way too high. According to the plumber, it has been potentially causing several problems in our house recently, including water heater valves to break on our new water heater, dishwasher leaks that led to us replacing the unit, pipes to leak, various faucet problems and damage to several parts of the house. After dealing with HVAC related to this yesterday, this morning we've discovered a leak in our kitchen plumbing that is now causing additional damage to the cabinetry. The plumber reported that high psi measurements are happening all over our end of town due to the city turning up the water pressure to accommodate new development. The city needs to address this issue, as it's posing a risk to so many of the existing homes in the area.
Water still leaking after it was dug up.
I've got a trickle of water running into my back yard. It seems to be coming from the SW corner of our lot. I wonder if there is another problem with the water main back there. It seems to be coming from underground. Given the amount of rain that we've had over the past several days, this shouldn't be happening.
water main cover been removed by the street
On Grandview Ave, across the street from 3411, there is a hole on the side of the road that was discovered after utility work happened in the neighborhood. The hole is loose and getting larger. It seems it is related to some utility that may be buried beside the road, and it is VERY close to a marked gas line. There is another sinking spot on the corner of Kerry and Grandview, but it is low and muddy and not open like the other spot. I am worried about dogs or kids getting a foot stuck in it, or a gas leak. Thank you.
There was a water main break at my address a few months back. Utilities had to dig in my front yard to replace the pipe. I assumed that someone would come back to fill the dirt in, but no one ever came. I have a five-year-old child and it's a dangerous spot. Please send someone to take a look at it and fill the dirt back in.
Someone is dumping trash here on the ground that gis says is owned by city of Bloomington utilities department. Can someone from utilities please clean this up?
