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.

There is overgrown vegetation, tree branches and people’s trash obstructing the water flow. This is causing mosquito and no-see-em issues. Pinellas county surveyed the land and said they sent notices to residence to remove item blocking the easement so they could manage the problem, but nothing has been done. It’s been years since this has been maintained. Please consider filling in easement or scheduling regular maintenance like other areas receives .

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.

Trees fallen from hurricane.

Water pools at Hazel St. & 102 Ave and drains west down 102 Ave to 12255 driveway and goes down the sidewalk to my driveway and into my garage.
My neighbor got a work order #424115 5/9/25 but nothing has been done. I have lived here 52 years and never had a problem until the new house was built. Yesterday's storm caused water to come into my garage again.
