I've been meaning to report for some time. During major rain events stormwater rushes into my basement in through the sanitary sewer drain. The last time was June 2021 and storm water poured in for 8-10 hours solid. Luckily I have installed a sump pump that kept the overall water level manageable. I've lived at this address for 10+ years and this problem has occurred 3-5 times total. It only happens when the storm water system is overwhelmed. I believe the same happens for my neighbors. Is there anything I can do to prevent more back flow during major rain events?
There are three water drains in the road on Pickwick, just east of the corner. They are all far below the new road surface. Please have someone come take a look. Think what it would be like to ride across them on a bike or scooter at speed after taking the long downhill leading to them. I don't know if they can be fixed now that the work is done. But please, please don't ever do this on any other roads.
Cbu water manhole cover is off/open in front of this address
Customer said that a spout of water is coming out of lawn on south side, close to sidewalk.
Water overflowing rapidly. I am not sure what kind of sewer this is, I just assumed it is overflow from recent rain.
Customer reports water running down the hill in her back yard.
We had a massive overflow of the drainage ditch next to our house after tonight's (2/20) storm. There must be some blockage at the end of the drain because water poured out of the ditch and basically covered our half of our backyard. The ditch either needs to be dug deeper and/or it needs to be cleared of debris in order to assure adequate drainage. We have photos for visual evidence but were unable to upload them through this website. Thank you for your attention to the matter.
There's an open storm drain that consistently becomes clogged and gets backed up when it rains, causing the water to spill over the road and flood our side yard
The storm water drain located at the front of the house is flooding. I have cleaned the area, however its an issue in heavy rains. I have reported this issue previously as well. Appreciate if someone can come out and address the issue since its the only drain along the street. The drain is on the left side of the driveway. Thanks
