Web Form: Storm drainage (and even some lighter rainstorms) has repeatedly been eroding and flooding our backyard and street. The recent storms have heightened our concern at the impact runoff water and debris is having on our home/yard, our neighbors yard, and the street below us. The elevation of our yard and street is lower than that of the woods behind us and the street above us (Georgetown Road). All of the water from these locations has eroded channels and pools in their yards, guiding the water into our yard. The water pools in our backyard, increasingly threatening our house. In addition to the large volume of water this forces on our yard and street, we are bombarded by leaves, large sticks, and other misc. debris. This debris clogs the sewer drains at the other end of our street and clutters the street. The amount of water runoff continues to increase on a daily rate and has started to erode dirt in both our and our neighbors front lawns, leading us to believe that increased drainage at the street above or our street are required. If not, alternate solutions and suggestions are requested. If city help is not possible, than approval for commercial drainage/directing of the water through our yard and into the street is requested for approval. Additional videos and photos can be provided.

Yes, I met with Mr. Ivey (his father actually) and explained that we have a plan to extend storm sewer to the end of the culdesac where he could tie in a private storm sewer. I'm not sure when this work will be scheduled at this time but can update the Ureport after speaking to the storm crew superintendent.
Hi Phil, I am simply checking up on this report - have you been in contact with the individual who reported the issue? Thanks,
Mr. Ivey, we will look at the drainage basin upstream and see what options there are. I will try to get back to you before the 4th of July.
Phil, reassigning this case to you. The map must be indicating the citizen's place of work. They've noted the street behind them as Georgetown Rd, which I confirmed is inside city limits.
