Pinellas County PLUS

City, worker, and sewer truck out to blow out the ditch and left trash. Was on Vista Way from 10 AM to 2 PM.

While taking my daily walks, I've been observing the drainage ditches on Allard Dr, between Hercules and Cunningham. There was some work done in them a few months ago.
They are all becoming overgrown.
I'm concerned that if we get much more rain, or a big storm, the overgrowth will cause flooding in the area.
The drain pipes entrances are overgrown as well as the ditches.
I took several pictures between a couple of blocks, I they assist as examples of my concern.

Ditch does not drain Floods yard and road

path has been built up by people in the neighborhood to cross onto county lot with atv and golf carts tearing up the lot they even built the path right next to the no trespassing sign its causing water to not drain all the way in the ditch and mosquitoes are terrible

The ditch under the entrance to Palmer Circle is obstructed and doesn’t allow the water to flow freely. Grass also needs to be removed in the ditch on both sides of Palmer Cr. Thanks for getting right on this

Homeowner would like to install concrete pipe in drainage ditch, fill and grade level with adjoining lawn area. Please direct me to the proper department/individual to address. I am the landscape contractor. John Tate [email protected]

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

This happened from the 2024 hurricanes. It has yet to be fixed. When it rains water goes right into the ground under the cracked ditch. This needs to be fixed it has been way too long!! All that was done was someone came out and put an orange cone out and said they’ll be back next week. That was a year and a half ago.

The storm water retention ponds in our area are holding significantly more water than ever. They are meant to drain slowly over time, however we are concerned they the county drainage field behind our neighborhood is not draining at all. While we have had significant rain, we would like to confirm that the county drainage area flowing appropriately according to the stormwater management plan.

Overgrown vegetation blocking water flow and causing high water levels during storms. The entire retention pond is overgrown with vegetation.

Drainage ditch behind our house is clear and open, when we get even 1 inch of rain, the water drains downhill and then backs up from neighbor's yard into our yard and with last summer's rain in Aug. rose onto our lanai and up to the house wall. Neighbor states his yard drains OK but won't inspect or let us look at the drainage area between our fence and his.
