Sarasota County Stormwater PIU

This is the height of the vegetation that is growing on both sides of the banks of Alligator Creek that flows behind our house and those of our neighbors. The vegetation is also growing through and out of the creek so that you cannot see the water anymore. It's one large mass of vegetation. Having lived on our home for 40 + years, I will say that the new person who cleaned out the creek last year did not give the same attention to clearing the banks that the older gentleman had been doing in previous years. The creek has not had this much growth in many years. Help, please!

This issue was fixed several months after reported. No, the bright orange infrastructure remains for the past two months. When will this be removed???

Property management was told earlier this week that the storm creek for the Association was hand cleared in October.
Property manager was just out there and said that there is major sediment build up.
Requesting for drainage ditch cleaning by machine to de-silt creek.
Thank you.

The storm sewer ditch in front of my house is not free flowing to the west (to Camino Real), it is full of debris and significantly pools water. In the event of a storm, the stormwater backs up into my property. It does not appear that the drainage ditch has been cleared in a long time. What is the County's frequency requirements?

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

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.

Storm drain is overgrown and water is restricted from draining

We have a drain pipe, grate and ditch that doesn't drain.

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.
