Apparent water leak in front of 3901 E Saratoga (Park Ridge East, NE corner of Smith and Morningside) with stream of water going into street for weeks
After installing the smart water meter CBU nor their contracted service provider left notification on our door that installation had occurred. On Monday of this week, CBU dug around the meter and within hours several water issues were present in our home. Debris in our drinking water (again not notified of work done, w tag on our door) seal blown off our dishwasher pump rendering it useless, and water saturating our carpet in the Living room. All occurring within hours of CBU being around the meter and digging. We have contacted and spoken with both contracted service personnel as well as the meter dept at CBU. We are currently in communication with assistant director. Today a service meter technician came to our property to take pics and "plugged" the smart meter back in to a housing that it had come undone from as per Ken Johnson. Again, we were home, the meter was handled and no courtesy knock or paper notice was put on our door . This is unacceptable as we had just been on the phone with CBU sharing our concerns. CBU Protocol has not been followed, drinking water was not safe guarded for my family, digging around a meter with no courtesy tag left on the door, meters installed with no courtesy tag left on the door including notice to flush the system or # to contact if there were issues, meter equipment not "plugged in" as per Johnson, and water leaks in our home which now require jack hammering into the slab. This is a deep concern of water safety, CBU Protocol disregarded, and extensive repair cost (3k or more). Mike Colliver (317)590-0115
Water volume been low in our house since yesterday evening
In FYI about water meter on Fess north of 4th Street. When I stepped on the concrete around the meter, it all levered up. I think the gap is visible in the photo. Utilities checked area on Fess N. of Second- found no problem with meter pits- did see an open hole in tree plot marked in white.Does not appear to be utility related.
I would like to thank the city of Bloomington for their professional assistance in helping me avoid a significant problem at my home during the recent snap of epic cold weather. It all began with frozen water pipes when I failed to keep a small stream of water running in my city townhouse; there was no excuse on my part for the mistake. To make matters worse, I needed to catch a flight out of town later that day. This is where the city came to the rescue. I quickly and easily found the city utility web site and created a work ticket from the easy to follow instructions. Literally within minutes, a highly trained and cordial city employee called me and walked me through the steps I needed to take to reduce any potential damage to my water pipes. Only minutes later, a two person team arrived and worked in zero degree weather and quickly turned off the water at the meter. They went so far as to reassure me that they would be back soon after I got back to town and to just give them a call. Despite the near zero temperature, they never once complained about the outdoor working conditions. I was impressed. When I got back to town, I created another work ticket, and the customer service process repeated itself, leading to a perfect resolution to the problem. I was very impressed with the entire process - a total Rock Star performance from everyone on the city team. Craig Medlyn Bloomington
Extremely high bill that was a problem last month, and is again a problem this month. Im not paying for water I didn’t use. I can’t afford it, I’m a college student. The bill went from $40-50 to $250-$350. This is ridiculous. We usually average 4-5 thousand gallons.. The first high bill was 26 thousand gallons, the second (most recent) bill is 20 thousand gallons. Maintenance for my apartment has come and checked everything, nothings wrong. Has to be a bigger problem. The bill needs to be waived, and the problem needs to be fixed. I live at Hoosier Court Apartments, apartment 519.
Convex crater-type pothole "erupted" in middle of N Maple; water appears to be coming from underground and collecting at W 9th
The fountain drain in front of city hall appears clogged. Gross dirty water is filling the spiral end of the fountain, where the drain is.
Heavy water ponding and very strong water flow (water was actually bubbling) in the northside lane of Patterson Drive, in the general area between Rogers and Morton Streets.
