closed: Can't Fix #182412

Drainage or Runoff:

Other: 4210 E. Hector Dr. Bloomington, IN 47408 We are having a lot of water issues. In the front driveway, they repaired the water mains in our neighborhood a couple years ago, and when they repaired the road, a ton of water goes from the road , straight down our driveway to the front of our house. It has caused water coming into the basement. And we had to install a drain in our driveway, and it still can't keep up. In our back yard, there is a channel of water (not sure what it's called) by the apartments that causes our back yard to flood. We have a tiny river, but it cannot handle the water that is directed to come right at our back yard. I would like to have an engineer come out and look at the issues and so we can have a conversation about possible solutions. Thanks.

The water main was replaced on the north side of the street. This is an older neighborhood and very little thought was put into storm infrastructure when it was built. The runoff follows the natural contours to a swale in your back yard and this cannot be changed.
