Turn my water on
Turn my water on
New apartments being build with very poor drainage caused new flooding on park square drive at enterence of complex. Never had flooding in the area before and water runs right down new enterence into drain that is being clogged with mud from construction and is not big enough for area. Flooding caused many new potholes on said road.
Driveway was cut to access water leak and gravel was placed in the trench. It has sunk in to the point that I cannot access my garage. The driveway needs to be appropriately repaired. There was no issue with the line running to my house. This is urgent as I have mobility issues and need to park inside my garage.
Kenda Griffith warrant for illegally shutting my water off
We had an ice buildup issue in the last deep freeze we’ve never seen before on 3rd st. Not even from the first deep freeze. Water runs from the location and house I tagged all the way down to 4th street and hasn’t stopped even as everything else has dried up post rain. Not sure if it’s a house issue or pipe issue but figured worth noting.
All of the sudden this afternoon, I have very low water pressure. I’ve checked for weeks around the house and in the basement and haven’t found any.
After heavy rains Sat. and Sun., 19th St. between Walnut and N. Washington looked ghetto with all the trash that washed down from Lincoln St. All the storm drains along 19th were and are packed with trash and debris. The storm water drainage in this area is under sized. This has been a problem for years.
The city of Bloomington Winslow Woods property behind my home has a culvert that is completely obstructed by downed trees. When it rains, the storm drainage from Azalea Lane runs into this intermittent creek in the woods and through the culverts. When the water cannot get through the culverts, it starts to flood our backyards. Because of additional downed trees before the culverts silt and clay has started to accumulate and further block water flow. I have requested in the past that the city take care of the trees on their property and the storm drainage flow from Azalea Lane. I could also see a removal of the culverts as there is no reason they are there.
The manhole cover on the Fairview st. side of this address appears to be leaking some kind of foreign substance that is not water. It may not be serious, but I thought someone should come check it out.
Planet fitness- Just now, the dispenser for the water bottles has black mildew or mold all around it. It’s very gross and a lot of people use it, although it’s dirty and never kept clean. Please send people to check it out
