From Reddit Bloomington:
Fiber cables damaging sewer lines
We live right next to Bryan Park. About a week ago our toilet backed up, and after multiple visits from our (very honest and reasonable) plumber, we discovered that the city's fiber optic internet contractor had carelessly run an optic cable directly through our sewer line. This caused a ton of debris to get into our drain pipe and completely clog the pipe, necessitating a $10k repair. I called the city and apparently, this is happening to people all over town. (The person in the utilities office said I was the third person to call today with this exact problem, and our plumber said that this contractor got thrown out of Carmel for damaging so many sewer lines).

Our recycling bin went missing after trash pickup yesterday. We've checked locally and haven't been able to find it. Just wondering what we need to do to get a new one.

Came home after new stairs were unexpectedly put in. The bottom step is way too tall (about a foot off the ground), none of the “support posts” line up, screws either not all the way in or broken, main posts at base are not very secure, wood is untreated and splintering. Top stair has an unsecured middle piece, and it wobbles when you walk down it.

The asphalt is deteriorating between our driveway and the street. Is this a city maintenance issue or a homeowner responsibility? Obviously not an emergency but it’s getting worse quickly.
The drive actually faces Pine Lane.
Thank you.

Trash
1311 N Washington ST
- Case Date:
- 10/16/2025
We have trash and recycling bins for 4 houses that are shared and are next to the road every Monday morning and they are never all completely emptied so there is always an overflow. We would love for our ALL of our trash to be removed every time it is picked up. If there is a problem with placement of trash bins we would love to know what we could do to fix it. We cannot just keep our trash in our houses so we just set it next to the bins because they are always full.

At the S Highland / E 2nd St 4 way intersection I have within one week noticed four vehicles that have not obeyd the STOP signs on E 2nd street going east and west. Maybe the big tree in the north east corner needs to be trimmed a little? Or put up a pre warning sign of an upcoming four way STOP?
