My property at [address] flooded again on June 18, 2025, continuing a long-standing pattern of stormwater failures. This area lies within FEMA Zone AE. I have lost two vehicles to flooding and continue to suffer property damage and personal risk due to repeated flood events. The creek that repeatedly overflows lies just off my property line, meaning I have no ability to access, maintain, or control the waterway that causes these floods. Despite this, my home bears the damage. City crews have occasionally cleared culverts, but no long-term mitigation appears to have been performed. This remains a clear public hazard. I am formally requesting inspection and corrective action by the City under Title 13 of the Bloomington Municipal Code, which mandates maintenance, inspection, and prevention of stormwater harm. I have also contacted FEMA Region V to report this issue and request federal documentation. Attached to this report is one photo showing flooding on my property during the June 18, 2025 event, after I had to relocate my vehicle to prevent further damage. A parcel map showing the property location in relation to the adjacent creek is also available upon request. I ask that you please confirm this report is logged and provide a response or timeline for action.

This is the second time this year that my house has been flooded because of the inadequate city storm water drainage at the corner of Overhill dr and East 8th Street. It happened on April 4th and on June 18th. I'm not sure if the city had someone come and cleaned up after storm on April 4th, but my handyman told me that he had to remove a bunch of rocks from the drainage. I really believe that the storm water drainage is too small. Even if we clean it up, it still doesn't function properly. The storm water from the city's drainage backed up to my driveway and flooded the entire basement floor. It has happened many times, but the problem is getting worse throughout the years. I had to spend thousands to remodel my house due to the flood damages.

Water gathers in the city egress behind my property and backs up into my side yard. I think something is blocked.

not sure which utility dug and then left the mound of dirt, but it would be great if they could come fix it

large account of sand and gravel in the road here. this is a recurring problem for bikes. the city needs to address the erosion and gutter problem that is the cause.

North Margie Court in Union Valley Farms Subdivision. Court is still covered with sand from the winter months. While I appreciate the sand being put down for the winter, I'd also expect it to be removed after the weather clears, all this should be taken care of by my tax dollars. Above that, young children are now riding their bikes throughout the development. It would be a shame for one of them to wipe out on this sand and be severely injured.

sand, again, at this intersection makes for very dangerous turn by cyclists
