Today and always when there's been heavy rain over the last years, 1st Street floods in our stretch, because there's no drain in the block between Stull and Fess Ave. where we are. At our house, the water hits the curb of the alley in such a way that the entire grass patch and side way is flooded, making it dangerous to walk on the side way. I'm attaching a picture of now, when the rain has already become more steady. I can provide a number of short videos we've taken over the years to document the problem. Please, consider installing a drain or let us know what can be done about this. It is dangerous for us, our toddler son and our visitors. Thank you!
A large storm sewer grate has been removed and apparently thrown down into the hole created. It appears to be vandalism. We have placed 2 saw horses on either side as a temporary warning. It is unsafe and needs to be addressed no later than Monday morning.
I checked and cleared storm drains on Sussex and Queensway yesterday afternoon and removed debris, except those two near High St that have filters to prevent construction from the new "trail". This morning with the help of a neighbor cleared the Sussex drains. I then cleared those on Queensway. The problems of separation of the present layer of pavement on Queensway and knowing there was a potential of heavy rain from the present on later storms today. I piled a significant amount of loose pavement with the debris at the south drains at the intersection of Queens Way and Chelsia Court. incase of heavy rain today. Also all three of these drains have a significant amount of eroded pavement below the drain's grates. Thus these debris may in the future become plugg the storm drain.that goes down just past Sussex Dr and result in potential stormwater flash flooding as in June of 2007 that damaged my neighbors property.
Storm drain at the noted location and the one across it are clogged with branches and debris. There is also debris from road paving (asphalt) next to it.
The asphalt in front of our neighbors house crumbled up and it all floats down to my sewer. I also cleaned the debris from two drains across the street. I don’t mind keeping gutter clean but I never know what to do with all the pieces of asphalt. We used to have an older gentleman that worked for the city that always checked drains but I figured he retired. Thanks for your help.
Storm pipe pushing out alot of water causing it to cave in the ground and sides of the channel. It has been causing the sides to collapse and making the channel wider taking from the land. I placed some rocks to keep the storm water from damaging the channel last year. yet We will need to add some extra rocks to hold it in place since it can't withstand the pressure as shown in the attached image. Please give me a call as soon as you can to review. Thank you,
in the back end of our property we have a storm Storm pipe set up between me and my neighbor. This past weekend we had a storm where the pipe was pushing out alot of water causing it to cave in the ground and crowding the sides of the channel. It has been causing the sides to collapse and making the channel wider taking from the land. I placed some rocks to keep the storm water from damaging the channel last year. yet We will need to add some extra rocks to hold it in place since it can't withstand the pressure as shown in the attached image. Please give me a call as soon as you can to review. Thank you, 2718 south Pinehurst drive bloomington indiana 47403

We have cleaned the tops of the grates in front of our building but can not clean the culvert in the ditch, which is clogged with debris. We also have one grate that has erosion barrier under the grate which won't allow water to pass through as it is packed with mud. We were flooded in 2008. We were within a foot of it entering our building early last Saturday morning. Please send someone to address this issue before Friday. We can not survive another flood.
