The new house that was built next to me had loads, loads, loads, and loads of dirt put on the property to build the house. At that time, I knew there was going to be a problem and I called the Landings office. They sent some woman out here with NO experience obviously and didn’t acknowledge a problem. Well, it took over two years to build the house and every time it rained, it flooded the side of my yard. I continued to call and call to no avail. I finally talked to Bill Campbell and he said he would check it out and never did. I continued to call. Now, it is at an emergency situation. EVERY time it rains, it floods on that side of the house and you can see how that property slopes down to have the water come in my yard. And some of that is land between our houses is common property.
Talking about 3-1/2 years ago, there was a horrible flooding problem in the back of the house in the common area that still exists. I mentioned to the receptionist that after seeing a segment on the news about standing water and the problem with mosquito breeding, she sent Bill Campbell out and said he would dig a hole, add rock, and cover with dirt. What a joke! He left and those workmen dug a small hole, filled it with rock, and then dirt. WHAT should have happened was that Mr. Campbell should have been here to oversee that they should have dug a hole the length of the entire flooded area, and then done the rocks and dirt. Now, there continues to be a lake in the back. Again on the news the other night, there was a segment about problems with standing water and mosquitoes, and to get rid of the water. That water stays out there for weeks after a rain. Are you going to get rid of it?
My job is not in public works/construction, but I do have a brain to see what has happened in both of these areas. First the landscape and extra dirt added to that lot has caused flooding in my yard that has never been there, and the back flooding was never addressed correctly.
This is not my problem. I am installing gutters on this house, and frankly, when I drive around The Landings, I do not see many houses with gutters. Go figure. I’m very upset about these problems that have occurred over 3 years, and the fact that there has not been any resolution to these issues. WE SHOULD BE WORKING TOGETHER to solve these problems. This is just not a mosquito problem, the water can damage the foundation of this house. If this continues to be ignored, I will go to the Board, and or seek legal advice.
Thank you for sending those men out as soon as possible, but all that did was have them see a problem I have contacted you about for years. They were surprised at the level of the water that is here and walked to the back to see what could be done. One of the men called their supervisor, but, of course, he was in a meeting. I hope this supervisor gets out here today to figure out WHAT can be done.
Thank you.
