We have a major flooding with heavy rain in our yard from a drain that can’t seem to keep up
We have a major flooding with heavy rain in our yard from a drain that can’t seem to keep up
Water is flowing from the lawn on the west side of Roosevelt, just south of Fifth St., and then running down the sidewalk. Looks like a leak; also the sidewalk is a bit slippery because the water is flowing through tree debris.
Storm drain always overflows after heavy rain, then the side of my house gets flooded and causes my crawlspace to fill with water

On June 29th, 2025, the creek to the east of the property flooded, causing 10 apartments to get flooded and multiple cars in the parking lot. We believe that upsizing the culvert downstream to allow more water to pass would solve the issue. Thanks!
Storm water drainage from the road runs out here and is constantly eroding the dirt on my property. The drain route needs to be deeper or angled more and more rocks need to be added so water doesn’t accumulate and drains well without eroding the dirt along the route.
I reported the issue with the drain (pictured in this request). The request was closed - saying "can't fix". What additional information is needed or who should I contact about repair of this hole? The drain is located in front of our driveway at 2705 S. Creekside Court, 47401. Thank you.
Heavy erosion behind the storm drain is undermining the adjoining road surface.
The top of the sewer drains are covered with grass clippings from mowing and gravel. The drains starting from 1010 w Cottage Grove down the road on both sides of the street are covered and when the rain is heavy it causes the water to run in the middle of the street.
