Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)
- Case Date:
- 7/9/2023
All of the storm sewers along Hillside De that I ran past this morning between Moores Pike and Henderson were very clogged with debris and mud. You could barely see where they were besides the excess sticks, leaves, and mud buildup. Often times our neighborhood drains (Sycamore Knolls) are similar after a big storm.
Potholes, Other Street Repair
7th St & Grant St, Bloomington, IN 47408, USA

Right in the middle of the intersection of 7th/Grant is a metal plate that is damaged and dangerous. It is not as big as a sewer manhole or even a water-meter cover. It is about 7" in diameter and appears to have been painted bright blue, but the entire center of the plate is missing, leaving a hole that one could step into and twist an ankle or a small animal could fall in there and not be able to escape. We called the City Streets department about this awhile back and made a verbal report, but nothing has been done about this. That was probably a month ago.

Not sure if this is correct department. My request concerns work done to reposition storm drains on the above-cited street. Thanks for improving all four drains. But several residents have noticed and are concerned about a deep hole in the green space located just a few feet directly East from the physical drain. I believe digging was done there as part of the drain improvement project. The deep hole must be filled in and seeded as it is a hazard to small dogs and to people. Please advise. I hope this hazard can be remedied.

Sewer Problems (Sanitary Sewers)
3204 S Abby LN
- Case Date:
- 6/1/2023
I have had sewage come up through our bath on our basement level 3 times in the past 7 months. It’s quite disgusting, and I can share pictures of this is you would like to see what this looks like. I have had HFI run a camera through all of my drains and I watched the video as they were doing this. There were no blockages at all; all the pipes were clear. The camera followed the drains all the way to the city sewer (5999 on the map). I have also spoken to a neighbor two doors down at 3212 S Abby Lane who has had the same thing occur multiple times. She has contacted the City too and they found a grease blockage which apparently was cleared. However, she said that there was back into her basement two weeks after that. After spending thousands with HFI and other plumbers, and out of frustration, she has purchased her own drain camera and equipment to clear out the drain should that occur again.
Since this seems to be a recurring problem on the Abby Lane side of Bentley Court, here is my question: Is it possible to have the sewer/drain system that services Bentley Court checked for blockages or waste build-up? When last was this done? What drain systems from other neighborhoods feed into this system? The sewage has to come from somewhere.
We really want to get to the bottom of this. Would you please help me? I cannot have my family live on the basement level when this type of thing keeps occurring.
Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing from you.
