Potholes, Other Street Repair
- Case Date:
- 12/14/2023
Hello,
For several months now I have noticed a large wet patch on the side of W. Bloomfield Rd in between the entrance to the Twin Lakes Rec Center and the entrance to the lower ball field. The water overflows onto the the west-bound lane of W. Bloomfield Rd as it runs down the hill. The fact that the area never dries up makes me think some sort of water line may be leaking. I just wanted to bring it to your attention because when winter really sets in I am concerned that west-bound lane will be a sheet of ice. Thanks for your time.
Thanks,
Matt

Only three tenants at the location, but water usage is 11k gallons. I suspect some sort of water leak, as tenants aren’t taking 5 baths a day. Would like to get the water meter checked, if there’s no leak. I will also contact the rental agency.
Let me know via email or call.
Thank you.

I noticed tonight that water is really spouting up out of the sidewalk at the southwest corner of Kirkwood & Washington; it appears to be coming from a small iron plate in the sidewalk that looks like the old style in-ground water meter, but it's smaller than those in front of homes. Just FYI.

This is more likely a Watermain problem, but there’s an overflow at this water valve access
Drainage or Runoff
1490 E Southdowns Dr, Bloomington, IN 47401, USA
- Case Date:
- 12/10/2023
On the street, across from the house at 1490 E. Southdowns and close to the intersecting street of Eagelson, there is a visible and continuous stream of water that appears to be originating beneath the blacktop surface of the street. I first noticed it on a walk at about 4:30 pm today(12-10-23). When I returned home after 20 minutes, the water stream was still at the same level/amount as I initially observed. The water is draining directly into a storm sewer. I’m wondering if there is a water main break?

On the corner of Cabot Ct. and Sheffield there is some type of water seeping into the road from the corner of the street near a stop sign. Seems like a broken water line.

I received a water bill with 19000 gallons of use and wastewater. That seems very high. I'm hoping the utility can let me know if there is an issue going on with my water meter.

Fake posters are appearing at apartment buildings warning of a bed bug "plague" and $540 fines.

Greece's Health Ministry warned on Tuesday that fraudsters have been putting up fake posters at holiday rental apartments telling tourists to evacuate due to an apparent bed bug "plague."
...
"Violation will cause a fine up to 500 Euro for homeowners and guests likewise," it read, according to a photo of the notice posted online.
The poster claimed the area was hit by a "plague" of bed bugs.

Many in the country have blamed the rising prices and growing housing crisis on Greece's new wave of holiday rentals, as well as its Golden Visa program for wealthy foreign investors.

SE corner of lot just west of alley and close to the sidewalk there is a medium-sized, water-meter pit that is uncovered. Lid is not around, apparently. Dangerous trip hazard at night, and animals could fall in.
