This is a test to see how stormwater issues are reported.
Alleyway at T junction between 530 n Lincoln , 526 N Lincoln, and 5?? Grant st floods after heavy rain and has standing water for several days after. Is there any way to add a storm drain to the alley? Or would that involve tearing the entire alley up.
Stormwater drainage on sidewalk on the south side of the 600 block of E First Street needs attention. The whole sidewalk on that side was literally a river during a recent rainstorm.
The top of the sewer drains are covered with grass clippings from mowing and gravel. The drains starting from 1010 w Cottage Grove down the road on both sides of the street are covered and when the rain is heavy it causes the water to run in the middle of the street.
The asphalt is coming up in chunks and blocking the drain. Leaves and other debris then easily collect and add to the problem. The backup floors our driveway and landscaping/mailbox area.
This has probably been mentioned before. Every time it rains, a large pool of water forms on the south side of 12th Street across from the Dominoes parking lot. It's not so bad when it's warm enough, but it's really slippery and dangerous when it freezes. Can a drain be put in right there?
The culvert at Davis Street and South Washington - between South Washington and South Lincoln - is overgrown with vegetation and needs to be cleaned out, otherwise it blocks run-off and a heavy rain will cause flooding. It has happened before. Thank you for taking care of this!
Flooding/Standing water accumulates between the street and our fence. Looks like this may be part of the easement. This photo was taken in January, but it is a continuous issue whenever it rains. Can you please contact me to discuss this? Thank you!
I have a problem on my property with drainage. The drainage of my property runs off naturally into my neighbor's yard. His address is 3514 Morningside Drive. When a storm comes, his back yard pools and remains there for a few days until it is absorbed into the ground. I discussed with one of the neighbors how this might be resolved and volunteered to help pay for pipes that would carry the water that pools in their yard to the ditch along Morningside Drive. The neighbor didn't think that would work. Now they have dug out a deeper hole in their yard and are installing a "Sponge Garden." My understanding is that this will retain water and will not allow my yard to drain. This area has backed up into my basement in the past and flooded it. It seems to me that this will occur more easily with the installment of the "Sponge Garden." I appeal to the city of Bloomington to send engineers to come and see if there is some way that water can be drained into the ditch along Morningside Drive.
Water stands here taking up half the lane when driving toward Walnut. It happens every time it rains.
