We’ve lived here for decades. The sewer drain across the street and directly to the west overflow with even an hour of rain. These are old, limestone houses, so most of us park in the street or one car in the driveway. We’re all , mostly,60-75 yr old people. It’s not only so dark outside, if it rains, it’s absolutely brutal trying to navigate the curb, because the water is so deep. Winter is almost here, that’s even worse. I realize we don’t live in the rich neighborhoods, but we are all mostly IU educated people, we pay taxes. Our neighborhood doesn’t get snowplows for days. We are kind, old beatnik people, we have lived here for decades. If could please look at the drains, install a street light, and salt the streets this winter, we would greatly appreciate it. We love living here. Please and thank you.
The grade in the backyard has been altered (trenches, sloping...) and is now affecting neighboring yard with pooling water/runoff during storms. Have before/after photos.
Hello--My mother has 2 rental houses on Olive St. (1502 & 1504) that share a water meter. The 1502 S. Olive has the water meter on that property. What would it take to have 1504 S. Olive it's own meter? How much would it cost?
Culvert running North to South at the intersection of Rogers and West Fairway Lane is completely blocked. It causes water to back up completely when it rains.
water pools up by the mailbox of 175 E sunny slopes dr. any time it rains. becomes a huge puddle at least 3 inches deep and across most of the road.
water runoff during rain storms and what the county allows me to do as far as making ditch more attractive and less of an eyesore +work better during downpours.
There is a longstanding and ongoing drainage issue affecting the area in front of 3504 and 3505 S Westminster Way in Bloomington, IN. Every time it rains, significant flooding occurs on our street, making it unsafe for residents to leave their homes and hazardous for vehicles attempting to pass through the area. On previous occasions we cad cases of drivers have become stranded in the large pool of water that forms directly in front of these properties. This persistent flooding presents a serious public safety concern for both residents and motorists. In addition, we are living with the constant fear that continued inadequate drainage may eventually result in flooding damage to our properties. Despite the recurring nature of this problem, the existing street drains have not been properly cleared or improved, and additional drainage infrastructure appears necessary to address the issue effectively. We respectfully request that the City take immediate action to investigate and resolve this matter as soon as possible.
I am addressing a sink hole on my property related to storm water erosion. On my property (Lot 5) and neighbor’s (Lot 6) property there is an easement by the city for storm water storm drainage. Is there any assistance you can provide to me regarding the filling of the sink hole and/ or ensuring that proper drainage is occurring at your easement?
The culvert behind this address is blocked with brush and trash from the recent heavy rains. The culvert needs to be cleaned out in order for the water to flow properly and not back up into the surrounding yards.
