This is the second time this year that my house has been flooded because of the inadequate city storm water drainage at the corner of Overhill dr and East 8th Street. It happened on April 4th and on June 18th. I'm not sure if the city had someone come and cleaned up after storm on April 4th, but my handyman told me that he had to remove a bunch of rocks from the drainage. I really believe that the storm water drainage is too small. Even if we clean it up, it still doesn't function properly. The storm water from the city's drainage backed up to my driveway and flooded the entire basement floor. It has happened many times, but the problem is getting worse throughout the years. I had to spend thousands to remodel my house due to the flood damages.

Flooding continues to be an issue on W 11th Street, at the lowest point where it intersects with Blair Ave. Please see the photos and videos I took yesterday: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WkvlvMpbzfWyCDrWhkIhXHjeLg5dyMIW?usp=sharing I cleared all of the storm drains at this intersection yesterday BEFORE the storm, but within minutes after the storm began, more debris washed in and clogged them up. I had to risk going outside in severe weather and high winds to remove the new debris and keep the water from spilling over into my yard. I fear that one of these days a tree branch will fall on me while I'm out doing this. This road needs MAJOR engineering attention. One thing I noticed is that there are no storm drains on the uphill portions of 11th Street, or at the intersection with Orris Drive. I'm not a civil engineer but I believe that adding additional drains along these areas would help collect some of the water before it makes it to the bottom of the hill.

There is a stormwater drainage ditch at the corner of 11th and Illinois that is filled with stagnant water. Not sure if it belongs to the city or C&S, but either way it is ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes. I can’t tell if it is tied into city stormwater drains and simply clogged, or if it was never connected at all. Would be great if someone could investigate and maybe do a mosquito larvae dip. Thanks!

The storm drain in front of 816 has mostly filled with silt again, the drain is overflowing with water even in the light rain

We had an ice buildup issue in the last deep freeze we’ve never seen before on 3rd st. Not even from the first deep freeze. Water runs from the location and house I tagged all the way down to 4th street and hasn’t stopped even as everything else has dried up post rain. Not sure if it’s a house issue or pipe issue but figured worth noting.

Have been dealing with water issue on Grant & Kirkwood sidewalk. It appears it’s coming from below ground and would like to meet on-site with someone from city utilities that can help resolve this issue. It’s particularly a problem when temps fall below freezing. Thank you.

Approximate location. Observed from E. 5th St. North side of road. Reporting copious standing water in easement and rear of properties at NW corner of N. Clark and E. 5th. FYI, in case some infrastructure improvement is planned, to please include some remediation of this past and future mosquito breeding environment. Thanks again.

Hi! It looks like there’s a water leak in this alley. A lot of water is flowing from the ground and trickling down the street. Thanks!
