Description
Storm drain in back of our house is clogged with trees, brush and tree stumps, etc. My husband has tried to clear it out many times (as the city has not) but it is too much for him. City attempted to "fix" it by cutting up some trees and logs but not hauling anything out. Now it is worse and getting worse during each bad rain. In parts of our backyard the water is at least 15 feet deep and came within 1
inch of flooding neighbor's basement.

I went to the city administration to address the storm drain issue. SD 1 explained that the city is responsible for clearing debris from this sewer drain. I've had City of Edgewood clear the drain last summer.
The reaction I got from the administration building was awful. The lady didn't want to talk to me and she began to argue with me. She wouldn't even look at the photo I brought (included in post). I've never been treated like that. I'm a property manager and I would never speak to my residents like the way she addressed my issue. She basically told me it wasn't their problem.
It was ridiculous. Sorry for the long post.
