A family pet, basset hound, was left outside today with no water nor shade and she is now passed away at the end of her chain with a towel placed over her. This has happened several times in the past with the animal left outside, no shade, no water in heat waves and i have had to put water out for the dog. This time unfortunately it turned out absolutely heart breaking. I did not know of the situation until after the baby was already deceased.
The storm grate on the south end of the cul-de-sac becomes obstructed by debris every time it rains. It requires my neighbor or myself to wade into storm water and clear the drain. This occurs even when the drain is completely clear prior to the rain and it happens very rapidly. The water then floods the cul-de-sac, sidewalks and backs up into our driveways. I'm not certain what the options are but if there is a different style of grate, it is definitely warranted at this location. Thank you.
Roto Rooter explained there is a collapsed line near the street. It is causing plumbing issues and water back up from the toilet at 5100 s rogers st.
The storm water drainage located in front of the house (closer to the street) is clogged. The city usually cleans it, but it seems that it hasn't been cleaned in a while.
Continuous water puddle forming where former homes once stood. Attention required.
Following the west second street water project our easement tarmac to my office has been destroyed. Please send someone out to repair.
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.
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?
