Description

In the past 5 years, we have had four flooding incidents caused by the inadequate storm water drain system between Thorougood and Church Point neighborhoods. There have been houses flooded, property damaged, and cars ruined because of it. Both neighborhoods drain to a retention pond located near the intersection of Pleasure House Rd and First Court Rd, subsequently, the water flows under Pleasure House Rd via two 36" DIA concrete pipes. Either these pipes are inadequately sized or drain sizing down stream is inadequately sized. Attached is a picture of the two pipe underwater during the latest flood event that occurred on 8/19/2016. The piping was verified to be clean following a flooding event on 7/31/16.
