Drainage or Runoff

2227 S Sweetbriar CIR

Case Date:
10/31/2016

Once again I tried to make the map show 2238 S Sweetbriar Circle, but to not avail. Behind my home there is a city right-away with trees. Many of them are those "tree of Heaven" trees from China. Several of their limbs are nearly to my newly installed roof and others, along with other vegetation are encroaching on my lawn. Mowing is becoming difficult, sunshine doesn't get through so I am seeing lots of moss and mold. Some of those trees need trimming and the brush needs to be cut back so I get some sunshine back there. Also since the city has redone a drain up on Henderson Street, I am getting lots of rocks, dirt, etc. with every rainfall that is filling up the area in the back. I moved here in 1998 and It has never been this bad until the drain was redone. Thanks for listening to my complaints. Hope these things can be fixed. The "tree of Heaven" trees are very nasty. They are terrible and multiply very quickly and grow extremely fast. Can anything be done to eradicate them? They root out any native Indiana trees. They need to be gone!

Drainage or Runoff

Storm drainage culvert on East side of Binford Elementary is continually flowing clear water even during dry summer times. It is flooding the front yard of 648 Woodscrest downstream. just started this summer. We thought it was runoff from the school AC units but now that weather has cooled, it is still flowing. Concerned there is a broken pipe under the school or nearby that is flowing continually into this storm drain under the school.

We have lived here for nearly 40 years and the creek water has never looked this bad. Yes, after a heavy rain, it is cloudy, but it hasn't rained for over a week. The water looks very dirty and there is a bad smell, as well. Not sure if this is the department to inform. If not please pass this along. Children play in the creek and there seems to be some type of runoff or other issue that is making the water look bad. Thanks

Drainage or Runoff

There are no sewer drains for rain water. It all pools around my yard every time it rains. The road is worn down from trucks so the water just stays there for days eating away at my yard. I even see there's a line item on my water bill where I pay for run off water...why am I paying for it to just flood my yard? I've written about this once before because I also think a curb around my property would also help the problem.

3020 S Stratford DR

Case Date:

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, jcornerstone.mgt@gmail.com), as we may be overseas. Thank you for your immediate attention to this pressing concern. Sincerely, Gergo Szanda
