Constant water source seeming to come up from the road or sidewalk on the southeast corner of Bainbridge and Allendale.
Lots of sand and debris in neighborhood streets. Please visit for a cleanup after construction is finished on monroe!
A large tree fell during the storm and is on top of one of the city’s fire hydrants. It is also blocking the sidewalk and half of the road.
All the water in town smells and tastes of chlorine. I notice this happens every few weeks, During which I am unable to drink the tap water as it makes me actually feel ill. What is going on?!
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.
Previous U Report, 188994 was submitted for this issue. As of 6/2/2025, possible water lateral leak is draining into storm sewer and discharging from outlet 43. Water is pooling on pavement in front of driveway to 1201 Wren Cir.
I have called several times over the last 3 years to report a dangerous curb on our street corner. Last summer a young child was injured when they hit the broken curb and fell. Please take care of this soon. The standing water each winter makes it more and more of a hazard as the cement freezes and thaws constantly there. Perhaps you could eliminate the standing water and prevent another deteriorated curb situation in the future. Your quick response would very much be appreciated. Thank you.
Several weeks ago the new fiber cables were buried along E Hillside Dr. I was working from home when one of the workers knocked on the door and asked if I had water. I did, and so did the neighbors. The worker said he ran into water, but if we all had service, then he wasn’t going to worry about it. I didn’t think anything of it. Now, we have noticed there is water coming up out of a spot along the sidewalk. I realize the picture is not really telling you much, but it’s like a small mud pit and water is coming up out the ground there. This is within the 10’ strip that the City of Bloomington owns along this section of Hillside.
Since the construction was completed to add the pedestrian crossing at E Hillside and S Olive, there has been a pile of gravel still sitting in the corner of the intersection that has now spread out and covering the whole street corner. Each time it rains, more gravel and sand are washed into the storm drain. Can this please be cleaned up? If you are on your bike, it's a gravel patch and you slide or skid making it sketchy. If you're walking and it's rained, it sticks to your shoes and is a mess. There's lovely new asphalt under there so it would be nice to use it. Thank you!
We tried to help with all the extra gravel that the street sweeper couldn't reach a few weeks ago. There is still a lot of gravel to sweep up before the street is repaved. Please see if the street sweeper can please help clear this area. Thank you.
