Water main break at w 17th st by storage units. Looks like fiber installation caused it. Will they be fined for this?
From Reddit Bloomington: Fiber cables damaging sewer lines We live right next to Bryan Park. About a week ago our toilet backed up, and after multiple visits from our (very honest and reasonable) plumber, we discovered that the city's fiber optic internet contractor had carelessly run an optic cable directly through our sewer line. This caused a ton of debris to get into our drain pipe and completely clog the pipe, necessitating a $10k repair. I called the city and apparently, this is happening to people all over town. (The person in the utilities office said I was the third person to call today with this exact problem, and our plumber said that this contractor got thrown out of Carmel for damaging so many sewer lines).
Gigabit or Giga-something installed fiber optics in the neighborhood. The holes they dug in the grass were not repaired. After advising them of the situation they came out to "repair" the grass. The soil was filled with rocks and gravel. There were no grass seeds in the soil. I spent a whole day picking rocks and gravel out of the soil, buying top soil, and grassseed to fix this. The ground is no longer level and there's also rather gouges or chunks in sidewalks and curbs. The road had preexisting, but plugged pot holes near the Sare entrance, but now those potholes are open again and expanding.
It is sinking and needs cleaned.
Every time I come to Bryan park to enjoy a quiet walk with my dog there are 2-3 mowers zipping around in every area of the park. You can’t get away from them! I appreciate that the park is well maintained, but today (10-21-25) there are 3 mowers, and the grass is short and leaves already mulched. There is no need for mowers here right now at all. I know you want to keep workers busy but the park is about us and nature, not big loud machines.
A limb on a walnut tree appears to be damaged and is hanging low over the street. The tree is about halfway between Roosevelt and Jefferson on the north side of the pedestrian path where Fourth Street would be. The second of the two large limbs extending south from the tree appears to be slightly fractured above street level. Not sure if it poses any immediate danger, but I don't think the end of that limb used to be so close to the ground.
The whole street smells like sewage
Hired mechanics and car detailing staff working on cars in the driveway and on the side street. There were 3 trucks delivered for repair this week and parked in front of this house. Major car repair shop business going on for years and remains untouched by the city.
