Issues: drain problem

Catch basin filled with mud and vegetation on Prospect across from Loring Drive. Roadside eroding downhill from there.

The Red River bridge west of Nielsville, Minn., on Polk County Highway 1, is closed because of flooding.

water is almost at house, volunteers are sandbagging

small dam sw just breached just started over flow

Dear Macomb DPW: How about sending some labor and material for road fill and/or ditch cleanout with the $$$ being saved from this mild winter. The one-mile stretch of Place Road between 26 and 27 Mile Road is the worst I've seen in 12 years! Occasional grading is not fixing the problem. Water drainage (ditches) is the culprit!

WE HAVE HAD DRAINAGE PROBLEMS HERE FOR YEARS. THE TOWN OF SAWMILLS HAS NEGLECTED TO HELP UP FIX THIS PROBLEM AS I HAVE BEEN TO THEM ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THEY MADE IT CLEAR THAT WE WASN'T ALLOWED TO FIX IT OURSELVES BUT YET THEY WON'T FIX IT. MY YARD HAS WASHED AWAY IN 3 YRS NOW TO WHERE WATER STANDS IN THE MIDDLE. WE NEED HELP IN FIXING THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU

There needs to be a drain installed on Williams Lake Rd before the light at Dixie Hwy. Everytime it rains, there is a flood in the road and a back up of cars.

Just south of Rodney Parham on Merrill Drive there has been a water leak for a long, long time. What a waste! The water is running downhill. Water company says there is no leak. Well then at least drain the "leaking water" into a drain instead of ruining the asphalt.
Thanks

Please clear clogged drainage, streets. Flooding occurs with the least amounts of rain. Causes hazards with stalled vehicles .

Shoulders have washed away after recent flooding, leaving deep ruts which could result in an increase in traffic accidents

Road floods when it rains and causes potholes

6-8 weeks ago, after a terrible storm, I called the DCR to let them know that a 60+ foot long concrete dock had broken free of its pilings between the Mass Ave and BU bridges. How did they respond? A week or so later they chained it to some trees like you would a dog and haphazardly put up saw horses and caution tape, presumably to keep people away from it. Old desks, railroad ties and other dangerous debris surround this hazard -- Questions: How long does it take the DCR to fix or remove a major hazard like this? What about all of the large and small scale debris infesting the shoreline? I realize we just experienced some historic flooding, but this is a disgrace!!!

This morning I observed that part of the drain cover (grate) is missing for the drain for the property at the northeast corner of Jefferson and Lafayette. This is the drain that is next to the alley. Someone could walk or drive into it. This cover is large, about 4'X1' and of very heavy construction. There are three more sections that were not removed.

Storm drain is crushed and non-functional.

There is a drainage port in the Smithfield subdivision that continuously clogs, causing the backs of the properties to flood when it rains. These properties will hold the water for several weeks, keeping it very muddy and unusable and creating a breeding ground for mosquitoes and possibly snakes. I believe a culvert should be installed along the property lines of the homes between Landover Trail and Nature Trail similar to the one behind the homes between Landover Trail and Millwood. I've personally called several times to have the drainage port cleaned, which helps only temporarily

Making the left onto S. Frontage from Springsteen or right after crossing Washington Ave. Extension when coming from Wal-Mart is uneccessarily dangerous because of the lack of usable road available here.

The manhole cover on the north side of the side walk was over flowing severely during the last large rain storm (Dec 21 - 22). The overflow left a paper pulp like residue along large piece of the sidewalk and the grassy area by the hospital parking lot. (updated 12-29-13).

Persistent fllooding of area around storm drains when it rains. Large puddles make it difficult and dangerous to cross the street.

When there is heavy rain, the water pools on the "shoulder" and half way across the road

The road floods everytime there is heavy rain or snowmelt. Then it freezes at night.

Streets are flooding but the drains don't draw the water away. It is like they are not there.

Due to the lack of a drainage at the entrance to Dunn Lane there is a sinkhole on the right side when you first turn onto street. I have been told by Lexington County that it is the states' responsibility because the main road is maintained by the state and thats what needs to be fixed since it's disrepair caused it. The state says that the county is responsible for it because Dunn Lane is county maintained. Meanwhile everyone who turns down the road takes a chance of their vehicle falling into the sinkhole and doing major damage to their vehicle or getting seriously hurt.

The house the slope belongs to is actually up on Crown Ranch Rd, but the slope comes down to the end of Strandberg Cir. Last year the pool decking, fencing, and slope of this house slid down and covered the end of Strandberg Cir. The only attempt made to clean up was to put tarp on the slope, but as you can see it doesn't even cover it. Every time it rains, tons of dirt comes down and covers the street, as well as completely blocks the storm drain that is there. We also have cracks in the street now which may be a result of this. It has been over a year, and NO ONE has done anything to clean up or fix the problem. As it continues to rain, we will continue to have bigger issues. This slope is a huge hazard.

There is debris and very tall weeds blocking the opening to a storm on Cleveland. It is located in front of an empty lot, across from light pole #932.28. The owner of this lot has not kept it clean for the last year, there are couches and other junk that people drive up and leave, but the weeds are out of control and blocking the storm drain , as well as a big pipe left in front of the drain. The drain has been blocked for at least 6 months and no one has done anything about it. As the rain season is approaching, this will become a huge problem.

The owners are keeping construction equipment in their backyard, and there is constantly a trail of dirt and rocks from their house all the way down Cleveland. The debris just gets washed into the storm drain at the end of Lopez/Cleveland every time it rains. There are also cars on the lawn and trash every where in the front yard.

Stopped up storm drainage
