Drainage or Runoff:
Other: Dear Madam/Sir,
We are writing to report an ongoing and hazardous issue concerning the creek that runs behind our properties (3020 S Stratford Dr and 1920 E Wexlex Rd).
After moderate to heavy rainfall, the creek's bank becomes overwhelmed by the increased water flow, resulting in flooding of our yards and water surrounding the residence at 3020 Stratford Dr. Our observations indicate that this flooding is primarily caused by erosion along the creek's eastern basin, located on public land 'above' and 'behind' our properties. The severity of the flooding is evident as approximately 2-3 inches of water accumulates around the house, enters the crawl space, and covers utility equipment such as the electric manhole and bollards.
The water takes several hours to recede, during which time the electric manhole remains submerged. We have already notified Duke Energy about this issue, given its potential electrical hazards.
As new tenants, we have identified this critical problem that was somehow overlooked by previous residents. While we can only attach a single image to this message and all incidents have taken place at night since our move, we are ready and willing to assist your team in identifying the eroded section of the creek bank, provide on-site explanations and further images if needed.
We respectfully request your guidance on addressing this matter and your assistance in coordinating with Duke Energy, if required, to urgently resolve this situation. In case you are unable to reach us at 765-508-9679, please contact our property manager, Ms. Janet Jin (812-325-9093, [email protected]), as we may be overseas.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this pressing concern.
Sincerely,
Gergo Szanda

Good afternoon,
I emailed the property manager at the email address provided. The drainageway that crosses the property at 3020 S. Stratford Drive is neither owned nor maintained by the City. This drainageway is privately owned and maintained. If there are issues with the drainageway/ditch, the property owner would need to remedy them.
If you have any additional questions, please contact [email protected]
Thank you.
