Description

This catch basin backs up everytime it rains and takes days (some times weeks) before the water in the street drains. The water overflows nearly up to the sidewalk when the rain is heavy and it washes out the lawn from the street to the sidewalk. Over the winter, a large chunk of the top layer of asphalt had broken free and there is now an enormous pothole hidden under the pool of water pictured in the attached images. In addition, in order to avoid driving through the flooded street caused by this basin, drivers have driven across my front lawn and destroyed it. This basin has been an issue for over 30 years now. it is getting extremely frustrating to walk outside and see the front lawn destroyed and a lake in the street.
