Clogged Drain – 9/23/2024

Danelle has been asking the construction company to come out and service the silt fence for a while now. It just wasn’t important to them and they continued to ignore us. Today, Danelle happened to be up in Alton when it was raining and drove by the property. There, she came across water in the road where it should be draining. Unfortunately, the mud had clogged up our drain and the road had minor flooding.

This is one of two roads in and out of the neighborhood and is important for traffic. It won’t get much deeper than this because of a drain on the other side, but it is a hazard.We’ve had two complaints filed through the city and we wanted to avoid a third. This photo was sent to the construction company (and they did come out the next day and make adjustments) to show how important the silt fence is and how its not currently working. See the video below for a better understanding of where the water is coming from and where it is going.
