S Clifton Ave (between 1st and 2nd) is in need of a street sweep to clear tree debris that has been accumulating. Because the street lacks a storm drain, all the debris flows into and stops up the swale that serves as the place for storm water to go. After each rain, several buckets of debris (pine needles, leaves, crumbling road surface) have to be removed by us.
Severe erosion issues from tree removal and other excavation work in backyard without proper erosion control measures put in place or inspected. Flood plain below the property is becoming badly silted on city of Bloomington property adjoining Jackson Creek. Site grading in the area appears to be completed, but erosion issues persist.
Lots of qater is spewing out of the water hydrant at E Hillside and Monon
Location: 1212 S High St (High & Covenanter) Notes: The stormwater conveyance is public, and the wall is in the ROW. Homeowner came to CBU with the following complaint & request: The stone retaining wall next to the ditchline is deteriorating; this is the 2nd failure in the wall due to drainage problems. Homeowner states that the ditch is in poor condition, not flowing properly, and full of "mud piles", etc which is causing erosion below the wall. He is requesting a call to schedule a time to meet onsite to show staff what is happening and determine what can be done about it. If he is not available by phone, he requests that we knock on the door upon arrival so they are aware of our visit and will walk the site with us. Contact Info: (H) 812-339-9132 / (C) 812-322-9245 / (Wife's Cell) 812-345-3046. I notified him that most of our staff is currently out of the office, but someone should be able to meet with him on Friday. (He agreed to this potential timeframe.)
The drainage ditch behind our property and to the east was never properly engineered to handle all the water from rains and multiple neighborhoods.It overflows and leaves properties too wet to mow for weeks as well as the trees standing in the water are dying and falling which is a dangerous situation for the neighborhood. This standing water is a health and safety hazard as a breeding ground for mosquitoes.And it can not be mowed properly .The neighborhood applied for a grant last year but it was denied.It has been dug out a few years ago by the city but without proper method used to apply rock to maintain the ditch open the problem just re occurs with it growing over and does not stay open to handle the water and it floods again .
There is a creek that runs along W Milton Lane and crosses S Victor Pike. Recently, I have noticed that there is a new smaller stream flowing into this creek. This new stream just appeared recently in the last week or two. It seems pretty strong. I didn't know if this new stream was due to a busted pipe, if it was coming from the Victor Oolitic Limestone company, which is at the top of the hill, or if it is in fact a new stream, which seems unlikely. It seems random that it would all of a sudden appear and be as strong as it is. In the pictures, you will see the good sized creek, and then you will see the new stream that is now coming down and feeding into this creek. I have also attached a google map picture showing where you can stand, the red X, to view this new stream.
Water and debris pools every time it rains and fills 4 parking spots along W 4th Street

Storm water drain is clogged causing large “pond” of water on the north side of Atwater and potentially a storm runoff problem for property owners that could lead to flooding basements.
