Before sewer work was done in our neighborhood (Adena Brook), we experienced “flash flooding” through our carport whenever there was an intense and quick rain storm (1-2 inches in an hour would typically cause the flash flooding). I had spoken to a city engineer with the sewer department previously this Spring, about what they had done and when the storm sewer work had been completed earlier in the year. (Mark Timbrook, PE was whom I spoke with) He actually remembered our discussion, and his site visit of our home, surrounding sewer and catch drains in 2006. He shared with me the work that they had done, and an intent of this work was to correct our home’s problems. I hate to admit this, but I was frankly shocked by this news…thinking that “our city’s government” would not pay attention to the needs of an individual homeowner / neighborhood. I also did not anticipate that Mr Timbrook would track with me on my home’s issues, recognizing and respecting how very busy someone in his position would be (and probably fielding a lot of issues similar to mine across the city!) We experienced no flash flooding [on Thursday, 5" rainfall event]…we were very very shocked, thinking that if any rain event would have caused it, last week’s intense weather should have!
