The Ditch has been obstructed for over a week. It has a history of becoming obstructed after heavy rain which floods the streets. Whenever the contracted company mows that area they leave the clippings in the ditch. Now the ditch won't even drain after light rain fall AND we are having a mosquito infestation which we never had before. We rarely seen mosquitoes now, they are everywhere outside and biting all members of my household after being outside for a few minutes during the day time. I have made a complaint last year fall when the streets flooded due to this ditch and the homes a few streets down behind me after the hurricane and nothing was done. Now this ditch won't drain and there are mosquitoes EVERYWHERE. Please come out and drain it or clean it out of all the leftover debris that has been building up for over 1 year!

I requested this a month before the hurricane. Our ditch looks like this all the time! Help. We have tadpoles in our ditch for crying out loud.

The problem with this area water doesn’t drain it’s all plugged up it needs a good cleaning.

Tree on east side of ditch has fallen to the west side, blocking the ditch and uprooting additional foliage.

There was a car that veered off East Lake Road at the Crescent Oaks Community entrance on 8-25-24 causing damage to the ditch and needs to be repaired. Bob Thatcher

The ditch in the county is easement has trees growing in it. Water flow is restricted. Coyotes hide in brush that's growing. There are snakes in the ditch. It is also going to be an issue for the mosquitoes. I've been patient because of the hurricanes, but this is affecting my lawn now. Please help and maybe find a permanent solution to this.

This area needs to be dug out so storm water can flow properly instead of flooding when it rains. In the picture, a 24 inch drain is holding water 6 inches from the top.

The canal behind my home (South Side) has a large tree limb in it. Also, the right of way maintained by the county has several large piles of tree debris, and a large tree branch that hangs over the right of way has broken and is partially obstructing the right of way. The tree branch debris has attracted the dumping of additional debris by some who do not live in this neighborhood.

The drainage ditch has become blocked by overgrown grass and weeds preventing the ditch from draining and creating a breeding ground for mosquitos.

The ditch along 16th Ave. S.E. needs to be cleared of debris. 3 culverts in front of the fireman training location, it is at the Elks Club at 810 16th Ave SE, Largo, FL 33771 culverts are overgrown and there is a lot of flow obstruction. I manage Oakcrest and my residents are being flooded out by this non moving water. We would appreciate your immediate attention to this matter.
