My sanitary sewer was backed up about a week ago and I did get some sewage water enter my home thru the air conditioner drain in my garage! Was this a city sewer system problem or mine? 704 East Winslow Farm Drive
There is a loose water meter pit cover in the area where BFC practices. This is the fenced in area south of the main baseball area. The water meter cover is loose and will flip up if stepped on. Someone could easily fall into the hole and be injured. The cover is near the trees that are to the east of the most western field. It is approximately 16 inches in diameter.
Hello- The drain in our cul de sac regularly is clogged and I've written about this before. The pipe which runs from the drain to the city easement drainage creek, runs through our back yard. The city sent out a crew several years ago and Phil Peden emailed with pictures saying there were multiple breaches as someone (before we moved here in 2011) connected to the pipe with gutter discharges or something. He said it was our responsibility to fix the pipe, but since it deals with city water using our property, I was hoping the city could help us. We have regularly had water in our basement since moving here and have spent thousands of dollars drying it. The whole water from the neighborhood comes towards us, as well as the golf course water down the service road in our backyard. Our neighbors' yard along creek is overwhelmed with water as well. For some reason, I'm unable to attach a video of the creek from the last big rain on May 20, so if you give me an email, I can send it that way. Thanks for your help .Kevin Murphy 917 374 8069
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?
At the end of our driveway, there is no culvert pipe to divert the water and it has since in the last couple years with the heavy rain, washed a massive ditch in between our driveway, which is an easement to the actual road a couple of times as you can see, they have brought the pavement up to, but even that it seems to be washing away on either side of our house. The driveways have a proper culvert that has been in place with pavement, put over it at the edges of their driveways and they do not wash out.
We live on a piece of property of about 5 acres roughly that are surrounded by neighborhoods that gives us approximately 19 neighbors. We understand water flow is inevitable through our property, but there’s two retention ponds for water on the two opposite sides coming from the same neighborhood that do not hold water and they completely drain through our property. The other issue we have is multiple neighbors have their sump pumps pipe that drains their water within a foot or so of our property draining into our property as well since we have bought this property it has gotten worse and the people around us on the other sides. Say it began after they finish building as the water retention ponds never worked properly.
The water at the switchyard dog park is still off. The hoses are out, but the water is not pumping out. It's getting hot and is difficult to fill the bucket via the water fountain.
On going and unaddressed mold. Crack in the threshold wall resulting in water damage leading into the home. Rental property has not done anything to assist or repair the issue. Personal property is damaged and black mold is persisting under the sink in the kitchen and presumably under the carpet that remains soaked at all time.
Along the northern property line of 2520 N Fritz Drive a serious flooding problem occurs each time there is heavy rainfall. Flooding occurs in my back yard. I have taken videos of this problem. The rainfall from North Dunn Street cascades westward down onto the property behind my home. That business has a large parking lot. That allows water from Dunn Street to run onto my property. If the trees are removed and a street is added on the property at 2511 N Dunn Street, the problem that now exists for my back yard will increasingly become worse. I have added several loads of topsoil to the back yard due to erosion and to protect the home's foundation. At the front of my property, I also have flooding issues. Fritz Drive has a download slope towards N Walnut Street. Floodwaters run into my driveway and erode that area. I have had landscapers add several loads of topsoil and install drainage pipes to relieve some of the water issues. These floodwaters from North Dunn into our neighborhood are channeled westward beneath North Walnut into Cascades Park. There are issues of pollution with these floodwaters. Health issues should be considered for our community members.
Uneven surface next to driveway that is getting quite deep, fills up with water when it rains. Also very uneven sidewalk all the way to corner.
