Large leaf piles blown into street from property instead of bagging

Collecting and disposing of two plots’ worth of yard waste into easement — mounds toward the back of the address can be seen from street. Accumulation of leaves so great that water floods all adjacent yards after any amount of rain. Last year, at last, property owner paid for leaf removal that took 3 days for a team of 6 to clear tons of waste from his many years of accumulation. He warned all neighbors that he would not consider lawful disposal of leaves this year, instead chooses to fill the easement. Owner understands he is littering while flooding our yards. He also understands the accumulation is too deep and too huge to be considered composting. We are at a loss.

Currently, the city only has one method for filing noise complaints, which is to call the number listed on the city's website. Having only one reporting method is extremely ineffective, and limiting the reporting method to only verbal communication creates a barrier for accessibility. There are individuals who cannot communicate over the phone - like me. Illness stole my voice years ago, but my hearing was not impacted - I still hear the noise. I just can't report it. Not sure what an adequate fix would be, as it would have to be something that is regularly monitored. (Address provided is rough estimate of area where heavy bass plays frequently, it could be one of these houses or an apartment building - I needed to put a location on the map, so I included that one.)

During today's GIS training with Max, I checked out the MyBloomington portal and noticed that the Parks are not showing up currently. See screen capture attached.

Will you *please* re-enable the map feature on uReports? See case# #206286. It is understandable that it needs to be upgraded/"rewritten" - it has been a bit persnickety lately - but why not keep the one that's been used for a long time by a lot of people until you have a new one to replace it, rather than just disabling it while you figure out how to improve it? It makes *zero* sense to turn off a functional and useful feature that needs some updating while it still works fine, and not explain fully why that was done.

Cover to my main H2O shutoff at the street apparently was buried by dirt when they installed the fiber box on the SW corner of my lot. Today I was Unable to locate cover without metal detector to keep the vegetation clear of it. I have a plumbing project coming up that I’ll need to shut off the water at the street this summer. Thank you for your assistance with this matter.

We live in Hoosier Court Apartments, Unit HC 503, managed by Hunter Bloomington Properties, and we are reporting an unresolved water issue that has caused extreme billing and financial hardship. At the end of August and beginning of September, the water system for the entire Hoosier Court community malfunctioned. During the repair, the leasing company’s maintenance workers intentionally released a large amount of water from the pipeline located directly in front of our unit. This caused significant water wastage outside our home, completely outside our control. Before this incident, our average water bill was around $170. Immediately afterward, our bills increased to: $250 for August $936 for September $922 for October We contacted the leasing office multiple times by phone, email, messages, and about seven in-person visits. They delayed responding and eventually offered only a $550 refund, even though the excess charges for September alone were around $850–$900, leaving $300 still unresolved. For October, they told us they “cannot promise anything” and have provided no solution. To verify the issue, we contacted City of Bloomington Utilities, who gave us access to a usage portal. The portal shows our line is using about 50 gallons per hour continuously, which the city confirmed is not possible for normal residential use and indicates an ongoing leak/outflow in the line connected to our unit—not inside our apartment. Despite this, the leasing company insists there is “no leak,” will not fully reimburse us, and has not addressed the problem. As a result, we are being charged around $1000 per month for water we did not use and cannot afford. We are requesting HAND’s assistance because the issue is occurring outside our unit in infrastructure maintained by the leasing company, and all attempts to resolve it directly have failed.
