Near the middle of May, Bloomington experienced several days of heavy rain. I understand that there were many problems around town. One of many near my house involved the flooding of Kinser Pike due to intense sheet runoff from the under-construction development, Kinser Ridge. Kinser Ridge had a silt fence up, but the runoff breached it. The muddy water flowed downslope through my neighbor's garage, yard shed, and driveway, and through the farm field to the north. This amounted to so much water that the culvert under Kinser Pike could not hold it, and the silty water flowed over Kinser Pike. The water pooled in the road for several hours. This was a problem worthy of a uReport. However, my actual gripe today is that the developer has not attempted to repair the damage or reinstall the silt fence. Now, when it rains again, the silty water will flow again with no impediment because the soil is now at the top of the broken-down silk fence. Behind my property line is disturbed bare soil that eroded into my yard last time, and because no effort has been made to fix it, the mud from the soil erosion will again bury my grass and trench out my garden. The bottom line is that I would like the developer to remediate the erosion problems in the northeast corner of the development before it rains again. P.S. They have had acres of bare soil uncovered for about a month. Isn't that prohibited?

Reporting again as I have not heard from anyone about this issue. There is no sign that the development has done anything to fix this issue. In addition they have increased their work behind our house including starting work with large tractors just before 6:30am. It's very loud and was reported to the police. Previous information already sent: Behind our house (to the west) is the Kinser Ridge development. After their work moving around dirt last week (they started on Monday 5/18) and then the resulting rain has inundated the silt fence and it is no longer standing and rainwater mixed with silt pours over when it rains. The worst was Wednesday 5/20 where the silt poured down our driveway, flooded our garage and left 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch of silt in many parts of our driveway once the rain stopped. There has been no change in the silt fence despite my husband (Tom Grano) reporting to the city in multiple departments and speaking with the foreman of the development. Today (5/26) the development is once again moving around dirt in that area. The silt fence needs to be repaired and a more permanent solution needs to be found as soon as possible, especially with a high probability of rain the next few days. Our house is not the only property that has been impacted as the west lane of Kinser Pike flooded on Wednesday 5/20 and the silt could be seen as far down as Bayles.

The taste/smell in the water supply has been a problem for years. The last time I brought up the subject to the City, they sent someone out to flush the water line--turn on a nearby fire hydrant. Of course, after a few days the water returns to smell/taste. So, what is being done to solve the problem? What is the position of the Health Department?

Case Date:

Fire hydrant flushed on Winridge Ct, but we never received notification of this being done. Are homeowners no longer notified when flushing will occur?

Case Date:

Black flakes in my water that leave a greasy residue. I last reported this issue on March 16, 2026. The issue is not consistent but seems to pop up randomly which makes it a threat as it is easy not to notice when I am potentially showering with it, washing with it, and even drinking it. Photo shows the black residue left after filling my bathtub with water only. Quarter for scale. Note: I re-submitted to include my address
