Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)
901 W 11th ST
- Case Date:
- 6/10/2019
The storm pipe/drain does not appear to have sufficient capacity to handle flash flood events. Storm water from the neighborhood overflowed from the street, and then flowed across the neighbor's driveway and down the slope into our property, flooding our crawl space. Last night there was literally a small river of water running aside and into our house, moving so fast that I could not safely walk outside until the rain subsided.
We need an engineer to evaluate the current drainage system, in particular the capacity of the storm pipe and culvert that runs directly between our property and the neighbor's. We can make some mitigating improvements on our own property, but we really are not equipped to handle the sheer volume of stormwater from the entire neighborhood during very heavy periods of rain like we saw last night.
I took some videos during the flood that we can send as well.

The accidents at Smith and Morningside need to stop. Another just happened. PLEASE put solar flashers on the Smith stop signs or even cross flags to get folks to actually stop there appropriately. Dangerous for cars. Deadly for bikers.

Vandalism. Utility box at 3rd and Roger's. Photo on the right was posted in Facebook by a friend yesterday. The other two photos I took in April 11 2017. The earlier damage was repaired. This new damage is more extreme but I hope it can be cleaned up too.

Clarification of case #168883: I said the tree is "near the tennis courts." I didn't mean either of the tree on the asphalt path. I meant the one near the SW corner of the courts, not far from the Woodlawn picnic shelter.
