Drainage or Runoff:

Other: Several months ago a new culvert was installed underneath Browncliff which was intended to help the property across the street drain more effectively. Yesterday, in the torrential rain, the sheer volume of water became a literal fast flowing river across several properties on the west side of Browncliff Lane. this amount of water can't possibly be due to residential properties on Browncliff, Matlock and Headley. my guess is that it is actually unmanaged runoff from the IU golf course, which means it is probably full of fertilizers and pesticides. Since there is no effective water management anywhere on these roads, the water becomes a river, then a lake. I do not believe this is a natural floodplain, (since water on my property seems to naturally flow through a natural swale). This seems to be unmanaged water from other areas that simply hasn't been dealt with properly.
