Water Utility Problems

After installing the smart water meter CBU nor their contracted service provider left notification on our door that installation had occurred. On Monday of this week, CBU dug around the meter and within hours several water issues were present in our home. Debris in our drinking water (again not notified of work done, w tag on our door) seal blown off our dishwasher pump rendering it useless, and water saturating our carpet in the Living room. All occurring within hours of CBU being around the meter and digging. We have contacted and spoken with both contracted service personnel as well as the meter dept at CBU. We are currently in communication with assistant director. Today a service meter technician came to our property to take pics and "plugged" the smart meter back in to a housing that it had come undone from as per Ken Johnson. Again, we were home, the meter was handled and no courtesy knock or paper notice was put on our door . This is unacceptable as we had just been on the phone with CBU sharing our concerns. CBU Protocol has not been followed, drinking water was not safe guarded for my family, digging around a meter with no courtesy tag left on the door, meters installed with no courtesy tag left on the door including notice to flush the system or # to contact if there were issues, meter equipment not "plugged in" as per Johnson, and water leaks in our home which now require jack hammering into the slab. This is a deep concern of water safety, CBU Protocol disregarded, and extensive repair cost (3k or more).

Is there any chance that the City would beautify (i.e. remove the rusty fence, cut the weeds, and mow nicely) the property on Monroe St near Tri-North where the water tank used to be?

Bethel Lane construction. For weeks this community has continually been taken hostage by a private company attempting to “fix” water lines. This company continuously blocks traffic at unnecessary times. It seems to always when school is letting out that they decide to keep traffic stopped, even though they, and the City ya ensured the county they would not hinder this traffic and work with the schools for ease of traffic flow. I find it extremely frustrating that the City of Bloomington would care so little about about it’s residents and families. This heavy traffic and blocked traffic pattern has cause myself and many others late from picking up a child at school or getting home to get a second child attending a different school. I hope that some one from this office or one from above can look at these many projects around Bloomington and actually manage them in accordance to the community and just not profit margins and revenues.

This time, CFC Properties notified us their basement flooded as well. Alley needs resolution, Vance Music has lost property. Olympus will need to assess any structural damage due to water infiltration. Please advise.

Re: Communication about Boil Water Alert for 7th St., 9/6/21. I did not know that there was a boil water alert for my street until, by accident, I found out about it. I'm even signed up for alerts from Monroe County, but I never received one. If you're new to Btown or even if you're not and you've never encountered a boil water alert or even if you have--if you don't know about the Monroe Cty. alert system or if that doesn't work well (I couldn't even find the alert on the Co. website), or you can't manage digital stuff, there's no way you'd be prompted to check for an alert, and that could have serious health consequences. In this time of public health crises and awareness, that's critical. Please implement an effective communications system as soon as possible so that all residents are sure to be alerted and can protect their health. Thank you.

What is the City doing at Parcel No. 53-08-16-300-046.000-009? The property address is listed as 3410 S Walnut St, Bloomington, In 47403-4523. There is activity occurring on the south side of the property closer to W. Gordon Pike that involves what sounds like an excavator with a hydraulic jackhammer attachment endlessly breaking rocks. It went on for 6-10 hours Monday and Tuesday this week, and is continuing today. Is this a short term construction project with an end date, or is the City planning to do this in perpetuity for some reason?

The water company is a monopoly that runs itself like its the 4th Reich. They offer zero assistance or help, unless your unemployed and not trying to better yourself at all. If you just quit on life and being productive, then the city helps you. If your a hardworking man, that fell on hard times due in no fault to himself, that guy can kick rocks. His only option is to pay his bill in full or else. The water company actually put a lien for 200 bucks against a paid for home worth 225,000! My family has had 3 or 4 generations of perfect bill paying with water company. Just my gma, dad, mom, aunts and uncles have paid city of bloomington water for well over 250 yrs combined, and that garners you zero good will or even common courtesy. They can't even acknowledge they're screwing you over and be polite. They know they're the only game in town so they treat people like crap and it's not ok.

I called customer service for City of Bloomington utilities. The first lady I spoke with would not take herself off speaker phone dispite the inhibiting amount of feedback. The 2nd lady I spoke with was unhelpful and did her best to transfer my call away without helping me. I would consider both of the reps behavior to be very rude.
