A little annoyed

[Mattones]

Well a few weeks ago the city installed a new culvert pipe beside my house forcing the water on the other side of the road on to my side. A day AFTER that rain storm my property had water levels coming up way past the ditch (About 20ft!)and close to the house and staying there. The two nice days after the storm the water was still rising getting closer to the house! I Called thed the city and they said they would have a look i doubt they did! Ill have to call again and complain more as this is causing a mess! Now half my front lawn is a swamp and im sure dropping my property value and chances of a flooded basement!

Well today I walked in to the bush and now there is water higher then my boots! I have never seen water levels this high in the bush even after the spring thaw! X X

No more deer pictures its all wood ducks. Keep an eye on the ladder stand steps and it will give you an idea how deep the water was got!

i love it when the township fixes stuff around here too. havent been that bad... as they actually lowered the amount of flooding here... but the road repairs... first time in 15 years.. consisted of a pick up truck with asphalt.. and a roller... a guy in the back of the pick truck shoveling asphalt out.. bening followed by a roller... the road was better before they `fixed`it...

I hope I can get them to remove this culvert as I'm sure someone on the other side complained and they installed it. Now it's causing a disaster

If you got lemons make lemon aid. Looks like you got heck of a duck spot now. With these storms flooding will happen. Look at Burlington where a number of home owners have found their homes unliveable.

Duck and deer spot. Looks good for you.

I would be calling the city constantly till they fix the problem "they caused" it is illegal to divert water from it's natural course onto private property.This is in the Township By Laws formerly Flamborough now The greater City of Hamilton "under the drainage act" .
Get after them , as you are now unable to use your property the way you had "because they created a problem ".

I would call the city and hound them and also contact a lawyer.

Hire a beaver and have him plug the culvert for you. Seriously, contact your municipality and have them fix the problem that they created.

Mind if I place my stake for the fowl opener

If they won't fix the problem soon I would plug the culvert before you drown your trees or flood your basement. That really sucks they didn't do their homework to see where they were diverting the water too
