water leak showing on driveway and road at 5105 s rogers
water leak showing on driveway and road at 5105 s rogers
Road and sidewalk need to be repair after water line problem
The sidewalks on the west side of rogers just south of Bloomington Iron & Metal (about 9th street) flood when it rains. A stream flows out of BIM at the south side of their driveway, across the driveway cut for the gym, and then across both driveway cuts for the big one world parking lot. When it is raining hard, there is no way to traverse the gym driveway without standing in 3+ inches of water. Did you know BIM is a superfund site?
Sorry if this is a repeat, I'm having a devil of a time with the website. This is a follow up to ticket #166390, in which Phil Peden indicated he wanted to see it when it rains. This is a view to the west from the sidewalk on the west side of Rogers St at about 9th street, between Bloomington Iron Metal (right of photo) and 501 N Rogers. The two problematic tributaries are labelled in the photo. They meet just to the left of the photo, which is exactly where the sidewalk crosses the 501 N Rogers driveway, and they flow south from there. Tributary A runs eastward along the north side of the pavement there, and then fans out where the pavement seam starts, and poses the larger problem because it is too wide to step over. Tributary B handles a large volume of water, but in light rain you can hop over it onto a manhole cover (marked "communications") that is just to the right of the photo. If a trench was dug in the dirt along the north side of the asphalt, extending all the way from the fence to the sidewalk, then A and B could probably be forced to join directly at the photographer's feet. Then it is just a matter of digging a trench under the sidewalk to the existing (and dry) rain gutter just behind the photographer. Thank you!!!!
A couple of potholes starting. Always seems to be water around, maybe underground spring.
the sidewalk in front of 2210 floods whenever it rains. it thus froze yesterday and last night my mother broke her leg falling on the ice. besides this. the water gets so deep there u have to walk in the street when ot rains or soak your shoes.
just in case you don't already know...7th street just east of morton is wet 100% of the time for about a month now. probable water line leak. photo was last night. from where the ice ridge was a couple weeks ago, i suspect its in the center of the south (eastbound) lane about a third of the way up the hill towards college. roughly at 214 w 7th. thanks!!
sidewalk on south side of 17th, just in front of trinorth. about 300ft east of the driveway onto 17th. ponded water still at 9:40pm. it stopped raining at 6:30p. much mud between here and the driveway cut. the sidewalk is obviously channelizing water. it is functioning as a culvert. thanks! good luck!
water meter at 1003 n madison (my neighbor) lost its antenna hat, i think from snow clearance activities. since its actually in the sidewalk, it sees more abuse than a lot of others. I've noticed all-plastic lids on some around town so i figure you guys must have a procedure for this sort of location. just wanted to let you know before it gets super cold again. thanks!
water meter cover (??) missing on sidewalk on the west side of college, just north of the train bridge (about a block south of 14th st). trip hazard. not sure if it was removed for construction or what but it's been gone for about a month. thanks!
