There has been a fence at this intersection built that if stopped @1st and turning onto Walker St you have to be atleast 2 car lengths past sign to see traffic coming to make turn safely. Please check this out. Not even sure they had permit.
My water is off. There has been work in the area, but no communication about it. No work occurring today. I am quite disturbed that it appears I might be without water for a while with no information about it.
Gigabit or AES or their contractors are installing fiber optic cable or something such as that. Will they be repairing all the grass from the holes and tracks from the heavy equipment?
The folks installing the fiber optic have severed what seems to be the main water line on the North side of Etter Drive, at about 6:30 pm, Thursday Nov 2. Water is gushing above the street, and beginning to flood lots.
There is a perfectly round hole in the middle of the alley right where it joins Walnut. Looks like something that the fiber-optic people made. It is dangerous. People walk over this all the time. It should be filled in with at least some gravel. Someone could twist an ankle.
There was some sort of construction started on Rogers Street near the Community Kitchen/The Warehouse. Metal plates have been left over the holes, and one has shifted significantly, leaving a huge dip and an exposed metal edge that will pop a tire. The plates need adjusted ASAP
When underground utility work was being performed, there was some exposed wire left behind in the yard. Requesting that the remaining exposed wire be buried or removed.
Water main break at w 17th st by storage units. Looks like fiber installation caused it. Will they be fined for this?
From Reddit Bloomington: Fiber cables damaging sewer lines We live right next to Bryan Park. About a week ago our toilet backed up, and after multiple visits from our (very honest and reasonable) plumber, we discovered that the city's fiber optic internet contractor had carelessly run an optic cable directly through our sewer line. This caused a ton of debris to get into our drain pipe and completely clog the pipe, necessitating a $10k repair. I called the city and apparently, this is happening to people all over town. (The person in the utilities office said I was the third person to call today with this exact problem, and our plumber said that this contractor got thrown out of Carmel for damaging so many sewer lines).
