We have lived here for 23 years, and it appears the drainage ditch behind our house has been intentionally neglected for the past year. The county mowers have only mowed the south side of the ditch, paying little attention to the ditch itself, which is now overgrown with 5-6 foot weeds. Never have I seen it in this conditon, and it now appears to be a drainage and health hazard. I was told 2 months ago that we might have been omitted from the spraying schedule, and assured that we would be put back on, and something should be done within 6 weeks. Of course that hasn't happened.
Please address this!
