Ditch obstructed water won’t flow

Full of leaves and tree debris blocked.

Ditches need to be cleaned out. Every time it rains, it is flooding very badly in the entire neighborhood.

The ditches along 142nd Ave between 66th st and Belcher are filled and close to overflowing. They appear to not be draining. There is quite a bit of trash floating in several areas.

Drainage ditch blocked with debris and is an absolute mess from prior construction. Goes across back of property. Flooding road when raining.

This issue and been reported before. When it rains the water becomes a small lake by my driveway. Many times all this dirt accumulates between my house and my neighbor. My driveway is covered in dirt. I am 65 and i can shovel this anymore. My neighbor started shoveling this morning...it is too much. Please fix.

Resident reports tree fallen across creek area; county maintenance requested

The ditch on the west side of ridge road is not allowing water to discharge into the storm water system. Water backs up along 115th St N and 116th Ave N.

Large tree branches from Hurricane Helene are obstructing water flow into the easement pipe behind our house. The stagnant water is causing insect & wild life issues. My requesst keep getting closed without resolution & now these broken tree branches are making the problem worst. Its affecting all the neighbors on Elaine Dr & Oak street whose houses back up to the easement.

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!
