Due to the excessive rain we are experiencing this spring the concrete support for the culvert that crosses the road adjacent to our property has collapsed.

The Johnson Creamery flooded again. I am a tenant in the building and after talking with the management company of the building, they indicated that the reason why the building floods regularly now is because of the way the drainage is designed. We walked around the back of the building (north side) and saw drainage that clearly can not handle the amount of run off coming from between 8th and 11th st buildings and parking lots. I'd like to request the city evaluate the options so this can be fixed. This building now floods several times a year, ruins furniture, initiates insurance claims, and disrupts business operations like mine. I will be unable to meet with clients and perform my job for several weeks while the building is cleaned out again.
Water has been pouring onto the front yard of our office through a large crack in the concrete retaining wall at the east side of Building Trades park. This has been on-going over the entire day. We have not observed this happening after a rain event in the past.
I reported the issue with the drain (pictured in this request). The request was closed - saying "can't fix". What additional information is needed or who should I contact about repair of this hole? The drain is located in front of our driveway at 2705 S. Creekside Court, 47401. Thank you.
Heavy erosion behind the storm drain is undermining the adjoining road surface.

Storm water drainage from the road runs out here and is constantly eroding the dirt on my property. The drain route needs to be deeper or angled more and more rocks need to be added so water doesn’t accumulate and drains well without eroding the dirt along the route.
Severe flooding occurred again tonight, June 29, 2025, worse than any prior event here since we moved here 4 years ago. Water rose rapidly and reached homes well beyond the creek. The creek now flows over the entire road southward. I had to warn neighbors up to three houses away to move their cars. I believe the house across the street has flooded. A neighbor called the city Friday (two days ago) asking for culvert clearing, but no one came. No progress has been shared on the engineering case either, despite past assurances. This is a FEMA floodplain, and repeated failures to maintain infrastructure are now causing widespread risk. Photo attached. More documentation available.
On June 29th, 2025, the creek to the east of the property flooded, causing 10 apartments to get flooded and multiple cars in the parking lot. We believe that upsizing the culvert downstream to allow more water to pass would solve the issue. Thanks!
