    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.

    Unsure if this is both a drainage issue and a sidewalk repair request. If you can see in the photo with the storm, and the temperatures melting and freezing, there is about 2-3 inches of ice and water/slush pooling. Multiple neighbors have reached out to me to inform it is unsafe. We salt multiple times a day and sand is a good bandaid in the meantime. We have had flooding issues on the sidewalk as well as in our home, it seems to be unlevel where all of the water collects. I realize if something is done it would happen in the spring or summer, and we appreciate any assistance with this issue, thanks!

    I am writing to you because my wife and I are elderly and we are having a flooding problem in our garage and basement due to the recent torrential rains on June 22 and 23. We have already lost stored items (essential items) because our driveway was built on a slope and we are receiving all the rainwater from the entire street because there is no stormwater sewer catch basin in front of our house that can drain all the water from the street during rain storms. Previous years we have had the same problem, but I never complained because we were younger. Now, old, retired, with back problems, and on social security, I cannot continue having losses like the ones I am having. I would like the city of Hamden to put a stormwater sewer catch basin in front of my house as soon as possible.

    Sincerely,

    Over the course of the ten years here the wetlands area next to our house has become more full of water than ever. It used to mostly dry up but has not been dry in well over a year. Because of this mosquitos are a huge problem as the weather gets warmer. This is also causing issues to houses on Norman road where backyards are full of water: i have been told that there are drains in these areas that used to get cleaned periodically. I do not believe this has happened in some time. I believe others have complained on Norman road about this and would like to know if this is being addressed at all.

    Huge puddle has been forming for years now, it keeps getting bigger, drains very slowly, very disruptive and causing damage to road and driveway and lawn.

    Hamden City Tree Roots grew through my sewer pipe, caused a raw sewage backup and destroyed my basement. There are still roots in the pipe that need to be removed and the pipe replaced.

    Just in case no one is aware. There are down wires, not sure what kind of wires since the storm on both sides of the street. Kids ride there bikes in the area. Just want everyone safe.
