Hi Michael,
All of that work on the Storm Drain System and now it floods more than ever. During the repairs, a 12" +/- pipe was cut out of the system and tied into another drain with its own 12" pipe. This, in effect, cut in half the flow rate of the draining water. So much so, that the drain water flows back thru the pipe under the sidewalk and pumps water in to the back yard instead of draining water from the yard. I brought you a video on DVD to watch. This happens every decent rain storm and not just for the 1000 year storm back on Sept 7, 2014. That storm caused 18" if mud and water to flood my basement shop area.
I expect the City to get this problem resolved right away and not wait until the next time I, or my neighbors, get flooded out.

The City of Newnan makes every positive effort to address issues of the city for its citizens. We will be more than happy to address this issue again face to face or please give us a call. Unfortunately SCF is the not the forum to go into detail on certain issues of this kind of technical manner. Thank you for your understanding. - Public Information Officer

If this is not the forum to address issues and problems, then would you please tell me how we are supposed to do it. I'll be more than happy to give it a shot as, for the past 20 (TWENTY) years, I have been reporting this problem to the City of Newnan. I have taken VCRs (they didn't have DVDs when this all started) down to the offices, visited the city offices to ask about it, hand delivered a DVD to Mr. Klahr's office last month, sent a DVD to the Mayor, and I have yet to get one single response. If you think that all of the work recently done on College Street was in response to my complaints, take two more guesses. A car opened up a sink hole in the pavement one night and College Street had to be closed. Then and only then did they find that the storm drain system was in ruins. After digging it all up, they basically verified what I had been reporting over that 20 year period. Now that the "fix" has been implemented, the flooding is even worse that it was before as the storm water drain rate-of-flow was cut in half on the East side of College Street. Now, this new Storm Drain System has a back pressure problem and it actually pumps Storm water from College St., under the sidewalk and into our already flooded back yards. I'll bet you don't know what else they discovered regarding that fix, do you? BTW, this issue will stay open until the issues are solved.. Jake Howard
Well, Mr. Public Information Officer,,,, how about sharing some of that information before we get flooded again. I have tried everything I can think of to get someones attention at the City. So, just how do I do it or what "forum" do I use?
