Other: There is a city street drain at the bottom of my cul-de-sac between my house and my neighbors. I have been told by the city that the drain is not on city property. I am not sure why or how I am to maintain the drain. It is partially underground and does not drain as it should down the hill. How can the city put in a drain that doesn't work and then expect me to correct the issue. Last week I believe they backwashed the drain which let to a HUGE amount of leaves etc that was in the streets to wash down the hill behind my house and AGAIN destroy the steps I built! I have maintained the walking path at Rogers family park on both side of my house but am extremely upset that the city trees that fall and block the drainage along with the street wash (leaves, snow salt etc) destroying both sides of my house and washing away what little yard I have. I have cut brush and pushed logs but I am a 56 year old women and I can't move or clean as the city could if they would just come in and correct the drainpipe and push the dead trees away on the other side of my house. I push mud off of the trail and clean it all the time! I am often asked if I work for the city. I should!! I can't keep up with what the city should be doing with the water drainage in my neighborhood. I am at the bottom and I get EVERYONES leaves, sticks, street salt and mess. Please help me clean it up so I can continue to take care of it.

3230 S Abby Ln. This area is in a DE. Let's figure out if we can help with this or not.
This is for 3230 S Abby Ln. The inlet belongs to CBU, but the pipes belong to the property owner. They discharge to the Goat Farm. Can you please look this over with your team and see if there is eligibility with the grants program or some other type of solution.
