Water/sewage is coming up into our house from the street. This happened a month or two or three ago, right after the city did some work on the main in the street (2 large spots visible in picture). A plumber confirmed both times that there is no backup between the house and the street, and he got the drain snake/declogger to go into the hole (white on the left side of the driveway/this image near the bottom of the driveway) 21 feet (I have a video, separately showing the measurements) or more both times. This time he wasn't able to get the hole unclogged in the street, so it is an urgent situation for us. We are pretty sure the guys who dug in the street to remain a main caused the issue because we never had a problem before then, and the first backup into the house was a couple of weeks after that this summer. We would like the city to come scope it and fix it ASAP please. The plumber suspects that the jackhammering and digging that the big trucks did in the street caused a partial or full collapse, given where the backup seems to be from what he can tell. Please let us know when you might be able to look at it. We have little kids and really need to be able to use water in the house. Thank you!
I have read that people are complaining of a strange organic smell from the water, but the water at our office smells strongly of chemicals, enough so that it burns my eyes when using the water. It almost smells like bleach when the water is running and it tastes strongly of chemicals.
Is the algae bloom high in lake Monroe? I've noticed that in the last week the water has a musty or moldy taste like it did last year around this time. I was looking to see if there was any report of it in the paper, but didn't find any, so I thought I'd ask. Thanks.
For the past week, our tap water has a bad odor and it tastes bad. It has a moldy smell and taste. It’s hard to even brush your teeth with it. Our neighborhood has had a lot of utility work done over the past month or two. There’s been a lot of digging for cables throughout the neighborhood. Could this have inadvertently hit a water line?? Something has changed with our water quality. We would like to have the quality of our water tested please. Thank you, Cindy Cummings
Our water stinks and tastes terrible.
The water at my home and in this area smells and tastes bad. It tastes like soap. Is there an issue with the water quality in Bloomington?
Our tap water has smelled and tasted like a pond for over a week. We’ve asked friends and it’s hit or miss who is having water problems but it’s all over the city.
My water smells and tastes like grass or mildew. This just started yesterday. All water in my apartment in Hidden Hills at Oakdale is like this.
