Sarasota County Stormwater PLUS

two homes, 4264 & 4274 Eastwood Dr., Sarasota are not cleaning out the stormwater apron behind their homes. I growth is blocking the stormwater drain.

Street is paved so water does not flow to sewer. It gathers in front of property when there is a heavy rain as it has been raining this summer. Smelly water stays for a long time and soil also accumulates that has run down from other properties. When water eventually dries, a lot of soil has accumulated and seeds germinate and there is a mess. Unhealthy because mosquitos gather. County staff have come out before and said nothing they can do. There is something that can be done. Street needs to be replaced so water flows to sewer. Please fix. This is a real storm water management problem. Thank you.

Storm drain is overgrown and water is restricted from draining

There was a gate right here for the county's Easements. The gate was locked and had no trespassing signs and it was recently removed by an unknown person.

This large clump of vegetation came floating down the canal some days ago and is now stuck between the shore vegetation and the tree branches. It is very heavy and seems to be taking root, obstructing the flow of water in the canal. I have tried to pull it out but can barely make it budge.

Storm water continually collects in front of my home and will not drain. Only after evaporation or absorption will it disappear. The street, and part of my northside driveway are developing depressions further preventing water to flow into storm drains. The homes immediately to my south have no issues or are collecting water, so I assume it's all flowing and stopping in front of mine.

Looks like someone dragged a fallen tree and plugged a strormwater drain with it. This is under the pedestrian bridge #4519 connecting Colonial Drive at Concord and Williamsburg St. The tree is about 8-12 inches in diameter and plugs one of the drains emptying into stormwater canal.

There are a number of stormwater ponds in the Tamaron subdivision. 2 of the 3 ponds off Oak View look good. The one on the South side of Oak View across from the large one is terrible with overgrowth. It is so bad it is creating islands of growth into the pond and growing over the large drain pipe. It is a county pond and I believe it is the County''s responsibility to clear this unsightly mess. We have monies for roundabouts, Legacy Trails, roadwork, but the pond here is getting worse with no help in site. I hope this will be taken into consideration and taken care of. Thank you, Ellen

Washout of drainage ditch. There was a collapse previously. Then the vegetation was cleared and they tried to fix it, but it’s now washing out more than ever. It’s directly across from a fire hydrant which gets used often to fill water trucks. I don’t k ow if they are leaving it on and it’s washing out? Or if it’s just an low spot for water to run off? Or if there’s some under ground water flow? But it’s going to get worse and possibly block the ditch and the washout further towards the road. Thanks for the help
