    938 Wintergreen Ave Hamden, Connecticut - Hamden
    engineering department stated a few years ago they were going to replace the storm drains across from my house. during rain storms drains clog and water flows down my lawn and a large pool of water stages in front of my front porch. this causes leaks in my basement and all the rugs get wet. also this has damaged my retaining wall. I need someone to come and meet me in regards to this problem. Videos and pictures regarding this issue will be provided.

    165 Building Brook Rd Hamden, CT - Hamden

    I'm writing to you in regards to an ongoing issue that has yet to be addressed by the town about Building Brook Road. I live at 165 Building Brook Road, on the dead end side and have been having street drainage issues since the re-paving of the street 4 years ago in September 2014.

    As you can see in the photos and videos attached, there are multiple issues that are leading to severe drainage problems. The pitch of the road, the lack of town regard for the drainage area on the opposite side of the road (cleaning of ditch, proper drainage pipes, clearing of season brush from town property), and the lack of acknowledgement of our suggestion to add a curb to the affected areas to block the immense water runoff from cascading down onto our property.

    I have previously submitted an email to the town back on February 9th, 2016 where I got a response stating:

    "Thank you for your email and I’m sorry to hear of your difficulties this morning. I will pass along your concerns/request to our Public Works Department and ask that they review the situation for possible remedies. With more snow in the forecast they may not be able to address it immediately but will get to it as quickly as they can. Thanks for your patience!"

    While the response was appreciated, no further action was taken on the town's part.

    On January 12, 2018, I submitted SeeClickFix ticket #4026079 to address the same drainage issue and suggested a small curb be placed along the road near the edge of our property to prevent the water from cascading down. It was, again, acknowledged, but no action was ever taken.

    Attached are images and video that have prompted me to write yet another email (and will be submitting another SeeClickFIx ticket). While I understand today's rainfall has been unprecedented, the amount of erosion and damage that has been caused to our property today (and since the repaving) is inexcusable. A solution needs to be determined, whether that is to re-pave the road to pitch it away from our property back into the drainage area, to re-dig the drainage ditch on a consistent basis to make it effective, or to install a curb in front of our property to prevent this from occurring again. With winter quickly approaching, this is sure to remain an issue. As proud town residents, we feel neglected and frustrated by the lack of concern or care on the town's part.

    My wife and I would like to come in next week to speak to someone about this ongoing issue. Please let us know who we need to contact to set up this meeting.

    Again, please see the Google Photo linked videos and photos below documenting today's damage, and please feel free to contact me with any questions.

    Thank you, and I look forward to a response

  • 21-23 Davis St Hamden, CT, 06517, USA - Hamden
    Since Hamden Hall cut down all the trees on the old Roche-Dinkeloo property (planned home of the Hamden Hall Middle School), there have been terrible drainage issues at Davis Street just west of the bridge over the reservoir. (Not to mention the terrible loss to the public of this forested area...) No trees, no water absorption. A site engineer and landscape architect ought to have been consulted. During rain events, Davis is now basically impassable due to flooding.

  • 309 Kenwood Ave Hamden, Connecticut, 06518 - test hamden SL
    354 and 366 Kenwood Ave between these two houses there is always a very large pool of water. In the summer it is stagnate water in the winter it is a sheet of ice. I can’t believe people who live in these houses don’t complain. It needs drainage.
