Other: The city has come out and measured several times for a culvert to be installed in front of my driveway. The problem is that the street is higher than my driveway and this house is at the bottom of a hill. When it rains all the debris from the street and houses above me come into my driveway. There is so much water that my basement can flood and the water level can easily reach several feet deep. I have at the moment blocks of stones in front of my driveway so that the debris and water keeps going down Mitchel street instead of blocking the small drainage grates that are in driveway. Sincerely, Philippe Garnier
I emailed the home owner of their responsibilities. Driveways and driveway culverts are the home owner's to install and maintain.
This section of Mitchell St. uses roadside swales to convey the stormwater downstream. As lots are developed it is the home owners responsibility to install their driveway with a storm culvert to allow this water to pass under the driveway and stay in the ditch/swale. After my site visit, I do believe that this section of roadway would be a good candidate for curb & gutter and storm sewer. I will add it to our list for potential future projects.
