Description

For the past year, even when it is a moderate rain, water overflows in my basement from a disconnected toilet. I called the plumber and he said it was because the street storm drains needed cleaning. I reported this several months ago.

As soon as the rain even begn with Hurricane Sandy, the toilet overflowed at such a high rate that it was impossible to keep up with and as a result my basement flooded and I lost a fair amount of personal items (since my husband's death I live alone and so there was no one to help me).

I recognize that given the damage caused by the storm this is not exactly a high priority, but could it please be taken care of as soon as time permits so that the next rainfall we have should not present the same problem?

Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.
