Yellowwood Ct. There is a city storm drain that dumps a river of water from the south side of my property all the way the way to the other end, then continues into the neighbors yard. As you can see in the attached photos, this is causing a great deal of soil erosion, property damage and negatively affecting the value of my home. When I purchased the home, I was told there were no issues with water. But I am now told by neighbors the previous owners spent a lot of time and money trying to repair the damage. I do not have the time or the money to throw at what seems like a city issue. Please let me know how we can resolve this. Thank you, Rick. Rhodenbaugh
He left a voice message indicating he has a problem with his neighbor that involves a drainage ditch between properties.
From the houses north on Glenwood from the easement I get everyone’s water and it comes in my backyard across my sidewalk and most of the time up over the driveway.
I am following up on case number 167563 which was assigned to a Mr. Peden. He said they came by and assessed the problem but they looked at the ditch in the front and the problem is not the front it is the backyard and the water comes from the north property onto my property in the backyard and is so high that sometimes it almost floods my house.
He left a VM indicating he has property at 104 S Jefferson and there are drainage issues between the city and the edge of the grass. He called Street Dept first but was told it was a utility issue.
The alley behind 1030 and 1036 W 6th st is in need of additional gravel, water pools in the area during and after rainy days.
Behind my home in Winslow Woods is a culvert that the city never maintains. It is now flooding with water and the water is creeping up towards all our homes on Azalea Lane.
Rick Alexander forwarded a voice message to me from Ms Anderson. She said they have a situation with their neighbor, his back yard joins their back yard, and he has rigged a pipe that collects water from his gutters and is going into their yard. It's coming into their back yard and she want to know if he can do that.
Hi, these two drains are partially clogged with gravel. I cleaned them with my hands but there’s a lot of dirt and gravel covering them and I don’t have time today to clean them properly. It would be really helpful if you could please remove the gravel from the drains, and from around the drains too. Thanks so much!
