The meter associated with Acct# 32673-004 had an underground leak. None of the water entered a drain or went through the pipes after leaking. We are requesting a credit of $11,536.55 for the wastewater portion of the attached bill. Thank you!

Subject: Complaint Regarding Property at 402 E 1st Street
Dear Bloomington Town Department,
I am writing to formally report an ongoing issue at the property located at 402 E 1st Street. Early this morning (December 6), while cleaning up trash that had blown into my yard, I noticed excessive garbage left in their backyard. The bags are torn open, and the mess has begun attracting animals; just last week, while I was traveling, several neighbors reported seeing a coyote in the area.
This property, which I believe is a rental, has been a recurring source of disruption in our neighborhood. In addition to improper waste disposal, previous incidents have included:
• Smoking cannabis openly in the backyard.
• Loud parties continuing until 4:00 a.m.
• Unauthorized backyard fires without proper safety measures like a firepit.
• Failure to maintain the property, such as leaving fallen leaves uncollected.
I kindly request the town to investigate these concerns and take appropriate action to address the situation, ensuring the safety and well-being of our community.
If I must report my concerns to another department, please let me know.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

There are trash cans blocking the full width of the sidewalk on Ballantine (west side), just north of Hunter. Pick up was Monday morning and it is Wednesday today.

#199580 is the case number. It would not let me reply to the email from Rhea about our recycling bin. I do NOT want to pay extra for a smaller bin, but I would like to have the existing one repaired. Thanks.
Unsafe Buildings

House appears unlocked and accessible to anyone with front glass storm door banging in the wind, back door to basement open many times. A variety of people occasionally enter. Multiple ways to enter house through missing windows etc… With cold weather pipes may have frozen. Tenants have been or are in process of being evicted but meanwhile trash remains that can act as projectiles in high wind damaging nearby people or properties, non functioning vehicle in driveway with open windows etc… Current condition of house is unsafe and unsightly and prevents other neighbors’ enjoyment of their properties and is dangerous in terms of possible illegal activities that could take place in what is for all purposes an abandoned property. Sarge Rentals manages property and is apparently trying to resolve situation over the past two months.

Low water pressure. Over the past year our domestic water pressure has been getting worse and is now perhaps at a 1/4 of what it should be. We have had the line from the meter to the house replaced previously. I expect we have a connection issue to the water main. Please advise.

Traffic Related Complaints

The City should check out the traffic issues happening on S. Woodlawn Ave from Maxwell to 1st. People are now parking on both sides of the street, often directly across from other cars, reducing this area to a single lane for two way traffic. This particular stretch of Woodlawn is relatively busy. People are parking so close to 1st on both sides of Woodlawn that sometimes you cannot even turn to go south on Woodlawn from 1st without needing to wait for a car at the stop sign on Woodlawn headed north to clear out (and hope the cars coming up behind it realize they need to stay back and let people through). I know legally right now the road allows parking on both sides. This could be evaluated and consider removing parking from one side of the street as people are not very smart about where they park and it is creating a hazardous reduction in traffic flow that is difficult for vehicles and bicycles to navigate.
