Ditch not draining

Yet again, heavy quick downpour resulted in the street flooding.
Ever since the road was paved in 2021/2022, the Culver's and drains do not drain like they used to.
Please do something about it, our homes and yards are at risk.
Please check for obstructions or damaged drains

The drainage ditch next door to our property has not been draining for the last six weeks. As a result, it floods onto our property where we have not had problems before. It’s corked up, and then runs under driveways. As the runoff process at the back of the property is supposed to drain towards Mayo and does not (and therefore backs up at our property in the middle of the block, it is especially important that the front drainage drain as effectively as possible. Much thanks for your help!

Needs to be cleaned

In spring of this year, we were told that the ditches on our street would be redone to allow water to drain off towards the west. Workers came out and dug out the ditch in front of our house and partially at our next door neighbors at 801 CTD. The digging made our front yard the lowest section causing all of the water yo pool there versus draining off. In addition to only partially digging out our neighbors’ ditch the culvert allowing water to flow southwest under the road by 802 CTD toward the pond was not cleared. The ditch also was not dug out at all at 793 because of “their planter box in the easement (as per the workers who were working on the project).”

Previously, after heavy downpours water might be in our front yard for several hours to half a day. Now, every time it rains water pools there for a minumum of half a day, and more recently it has not drained off at all; the water level just increases or slightly decreases. When there is no water in the ditch one can clearly see that it slopes down from 801 CTD toward our yard. A Pinellas County employee who was checking the ditches a few weeks ago also noticed that and stated he would report it to his supervisor. Since then, we have heard or seen nothing regarding this problem. Aside from being a nuisance, the standing water is killing the shade tree in our front yard and it has also become a mosquito breeding ground. We have lived in our house since 2013, and have never had this many mosquitoes, even after major rain events and storms.

Please send someone to fix the ditches in our neighborhood so water can drain off properly.

Thank you!!!

There is a drain ditch that goes along the back of the houses and it never drains and always standing water, so the mosquito population is substantial. You can't even have a dog bowl of water outside without having mosquito Larvae in it in a day.

The drain is blocked by a tree growing in it. The area is flooding with every hard rain. Located between 11167 Village Green Ave and 111 LN N.

I noticed the ditches along the Pinellas Trail in Bay Pines and Tyrone are becoming very grown over. With the rain/hurricane season here it’s concerning that we could have flood issues. Are there plans to evaluate and clean them out?

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