Significant amount of water coming out of fire hydrant at intersection of Eastside and Atwater.
Significant amount of water coming out of fire hydrant at intersection of Eastside and Atwater.
Last year the water meter was replaced in the street on Eastside Drive. Since that time the water pressure in the house has decreased significantly. I have called numerous times for the utilities to come and fix the problem to no avail. I've received no response. Last week, we had a rental inspection at the house and was told the water pressure needed fixed in order to pass inspection. Is there anyone available that can look at the problem that is not in the house, but in the street? Help us please!!! Thank you!!!
Every year, we have several families of ducklings cross the road here to get to the pond at the Fountain Park apartment complex. Is it possible to have a duckling road sign installed so that oncoming traffic is cautious? There have been a couple close calls and even two casualties involving the ducks and their mothers during their journey to water. I think a sign would be helpful.
It has come to our attention, as mentioned by the owner, that there is an underground propane tank still present on this property. We are concerned about potential toxic effects if left in the ground. Please investigate and remove. We hope this will be removed to prevent contamination of underground water.

Street drain water from Olcott Rd. has created a deep gully (~4 feet deep) along the property boundary of my home on Crandall Court. I'd be most grateful if I could get advice from the stormwater folks in the Bloomington Utilities Department. HELP! Ben Brabson, 812-332-6507 or by e-mail at brabson@indiana.edu
Across the street, there is a drain that sends water along the southern border of my property to Clear Creek. This drain has not been maintained and is partially blocked. The ditch that carries the water yo Clear Creek, is also full of sediment. Please call me. Thank you.
Water drain under street is blocked by bent pipe; road floods with every heavy rain as a result
Just north of 926 S. Highland Ave., a 15 ft area of the west side of the street (and storm drain) has crumbled to gravel-size and larger chunks of asphalt. As result of an earlier complaint, a small part was patched with blacktop that has now crumbled. My concern is not the ugly appearance. If we have a 5-10 year rain storm, the runoff down S. Highland easily will clog the storm drain underneath a parking area (owned by the city) in front for my home and likely will flood the first level of my home. I have observed the enormous flow of water in the storm drain during normal heavy rain and am certain an unusual downpour will now cause flooding. Please consider sending a truck to remove the street/storm drain debris.
My water meter is not on my property. It is located in the same hole as my neighbors who live at 2526 S Rogers. When the houses were constructed, the water meter was in their backyard. They remodeled adding a building and turning their yard into a driveway for the many vehicles they own. Their two Food Trucks, parked cars, food truck supplies and other items are in the location of the water meters. I have no access to their property. I have always wondered if my water read was correct. I live in a 900 sq ft home and am the only one living here. They have many many residents of their home, at least 6 or 7. At least7 or 8 vehicles use their driveway and park in the little yard they have left. I'm worried that where the meter is located may be making my meter read high. I would appreciate your investigation and a call with the results. I can't include a phoy As the meter is in their driveway.
