During heavy rains, like this past tuesday, our driveway takes all of the storm run-off for the street because it has a reverse slope. This ends up flooding our garage and basement. We have installed extra drainage at the front of our garage and our neighbors have had an extensive gravel drain system landscaped that runs between our houses to help divert the water from the street as well. However, because of the extent of the water our two houses are taking for the street, we need the help of the city fully fix the drainage situations. Even with all the work that has been done, the water still pools in front of our driveway on the street and there is extensive erosion on the road. If photos are necessary I can take them during the next rain event. Thank you.

We have an open culvert in our yard that drains rain water from the other side of the street and it seems to be eroding my property. It was suggested to me that I contact the city to see if I can get assistance in fixing this problem.

storm sewer has collapse - at least 3 years ago - causing excessive loss of lawn. I had to have my sunroom jacked up & have the back yards in our ares are getting steeper & steeper. The manhole cover is washed off nearly every rain leaving the opening uncovered. The flooding is getting worse & worse, and something needs to be done. The subdivision is trying to work with City, but it really has to be take care of before we start losing our homes.

It has been over 2 years since the City was here and proclaimed the storm sewer that drains in my back yard had collapsed. Since that time the ground level has lowere by several inches, and the flooding gets worse with each storm. The City website says they provide storm sewers. I would like to know when this problem will be taken care of. I had to have my sunroom jacked up and have lost all of the gravel that had been put there - 3 times before being aware of the problem, and twice after being told it was "fixed". PLEASE respond as I have had no response to my phone call.

on the side of the square that has the restaurants king-dough and the owlery, at the alley in the middle of the block, there is a constant little stream of water going out onto where pedestrians are walking on the sidewalk, so there's a leak somewhere. i have noticed this for several months, & with winter soon, it will freeze & be a hazard for slip&falls. thanks

Attn Phil/ and ED,
I have doubts a foot more will be deep enough. I have heard the roar of racing water in my backyard. It has moved some of the 30 to 40 pound stones I have placed to slow the erosion. Please consider a deep ditch. Thanks

During Sunday storm, water runoff on Madison Street between 6th & 7th flooded into my commercial space (212 N Madison). It climbed a foot up the exterior of the building and flooded comletely to the back of the building, jeopardizing thousands of dollars in equipment and stock. It appears that the sidewalk tips toward the building, and so that once the water crests over the sidewalk, it is pushed into our space. It seems to me that the issue with the sidewalk is the city's. Further, I wonder if there is anything that can be done to ensure the functioning of the sewer, which is the problem at the base of the flooding issue. I know two other spaces on that block also flooded.
I don't have a photo, but can secure one from my landlord if needed.
Many thanks for looking into this.
