I came home and the water in all my toilets seems to have like exploded all over the bowl... was there utility work being done today? Is my water safe to drink? Its kind of unnerving to come home to this without explanation.
Ongoing sewer smell coming from general area of Cascades creek running behind our house. Always an occasional issue but lately (past few weeks) a very PUNGENT odor happening multiple times a day. Possibly a pipe is leaking?
The town of Bloomington is the jewel of Indiana, and E Kirkwood Ave is the jewel of Bloomington. Over the past couple of years, there has been a persistent smell of raw sewage coming from Oddfellows Alley, just off of Kirkwood Ave. At times, the smell is overwhelming. This creates a very unpleasant atmosphere in the 100 block of E Kirkwood Ave, and diminishes the beauty of our downtown. Please find and contain the source of this smell. I would ask that you make this an urgent priority, and get it done before the Taste of Bloomington event this weekend. Thank you. Chuck Russo
Hello! We still have a very bad sewer odor at 210 E. Gilbert. I first reported this issue in November, 2024. It has not been resolved. We tested the water in the creek, and the ph levels are high, indicating sewage in the water. Here is the report below. Please contact me at 812-322-7997. Maryellen May My name is Jessica Will and I am a volunteer for the Adopt-A-Stream program. I usually monitor the Griffy Lake site, but recently learned about water quality concerns in my neighborhood. So, this month, I also tested two sites along the creek running through Matlock Heights and into Cascade Park. I believe there are strong indicators that our creek contains sewage and that sewage is being fed into Cascade Park. Please see results and observations below. Site 1 results pH: 8 Nitrate: 2 Nitrite: 0 Oxygen: 5 Site 2 results pH: 9 Nitrate: 3 Nitrite: 1 Oxygen: 5 Observations Elevated pH and nitrate levels may be indicators of sewage or other contamination. Smells of sewage and detergent were strong at both sites. Several manholes are placed along the stream, suggesting sewer lines run through the creek. Please see attached image for site locations (blue pins). I'm writing to share these results and concerns. I'm also seeking your guidance as to how to get the city involved in additional testing and potential sewage line repair.
Customer said there is a pipe exposed on the side of the storm ditch.
Road construction has Queens Way blocked. Construction was on the website earlier but has been removed. Construction is definitely NOT COMPLETED. Please update website with construction and new completion date.
Sidewalks, drainage grates and side-paths are covered in leaves, twigs, tree debris, limbs, rocks. Some drainage grates are almost completely blocked with debris. This problem is from the roundabout West to the fly-over to Vernal Pike.
The street drain on the west side of the street is full of debris which inhibits drainage
A couple of months ago the city started installing new stormwater pipes on E Saratoga Dr. The project appears to have been abandoned mid-way through. One side of the street remains dug up and very loosely covered with gravel. Construction equipment has never been moved. Is there a timeline for finishing the project and restoring the road?
This intersection drainage project has been weeks ongoing. Now we are left with an absolutely horrid street. The utility cuts were filled with gravel but have rutted out to be almost impassable. This is addition to the pot holes and drains that are unfinished.
