We have several neighbors, particularly on the lower side of the neighborhood, that are having issues with stormwater runoff and soil erosion. While they have been in conversations with the county and the city around resolutions and responsibility, we as an HOA and neighborhood want to help those around us in any way we can. Please ensure if you have a drain in the rear easement/right of way that it is clear of debris. Also please be conscious of where you are placing trash at the street free from any drain entrances. If you have a particularly large debris pile, you can put it in a ticket on the city website under the Action Center for Debris/Bulk Request and it is usually resolved within 7-10 days.
Thank you everyone!
Yes. Thanks for this reminder. We all need to be aware of keeping things clear for drainage.
I appreciate the storm drain issue being posted to our CW neighborhood shared site. The issues are real and very concerning, particularly for those homeowners located at the bottom of each affected street. As one of those homeowners, I would like to remind all homeowners with storm drain access points on their property that they are legally required to keep these access points free of all natural and planted vegetation that might interfere with any water runoff from entering the drain system or otherwise cause water to flow onto your neighbor’s property outside of the natural elevation-flow of the land. Furthermore, these requirements also apply to any installed obstructions such as fences, hedges, berms, walls,etc. Hopefully, for most CW homeowners, this topic is not a direct problem for you. However, my neighbor and I along with many affected homeowners are facing tens of thousands of dollars in repair costs to protect our/their respective properties. I hope everyone will do their share and cooperate in helping to minimize the issues mentioned herein.
Thank you
