Pothole at RCA Park Dr and W Cardinal Ct.
No water is coming out of any of our faucets. This was preceded by the sound of water rushing through all of our pipes. It sounded like draining. Our address is 909 N Maple St.
Downed trees are restricting the flow of stormwater runoff through the ditch, close to where it intersects the B Line Trail. This is causing the adjacent lot to flood during periods of heavy rain.
The storm pipe/drain does not appear to have sufficient capacity to handle flash flood events. Storm water from the neighborhood overflowed from the street, and then flowed across the neighbor's driveway and down the slope into our property, flooding our crawl space. Last night there was literally a small river of water running aside and into our house, moving so fast that I could not safely walk outside until the rain subsided. We need an engineer to evaluate the current drainage system, in particular the capacity of the storm pipe and culvert that runs directly between our property and the neighbor's. We can make some mitigating improvements on our own property, but we really are not equipped to handle the sheer volume of stormwater from the entire neighborhood during very heavy periods of rain like we saw last night. I took some videos during the flood that we can send as well.
Strong odor coming from the ditch/stream behind our house and along the B Line Trail.
Vinyl siding is 100% recyclable (plastic #3). Not sure why it was rejected for pickup.
Sewage is backing up in our basement after today's rain at 901 W Briarcliff Dr, Bloomington IN 47404. We have rotorooter coming out, but in the past roots in the city line in front of the house caused backups. Please check this line as soon as possible to see if it needs roots cut. We've experienced a catastrophic backup due to problems in the city's line before and wish to avoid a recurrence. Thank you very much for your help in this matter.
Unable to see traffic heading North on South Woodlawn when pulling out from University. Cars parked on the East side of South Woodlawn close to the intersection of Woodlawn and University obstruct the line of sight for oncoming motorist and bicyclist traffic.
