good advice=csi7;2550248]Take pictures with date of the area in question now.
in my area that would be called the courthouse. The only means of seeking a remedy in my area would be to sue the party that caused the injury. OP might be in a similar situation.The problem with drainage can be dealt with through public works, water management, or whatever the department is called in your location.
Simply not true.If there is a public stormwater drainage system for the area, that department is responsible to ensure that no one's yard is getting flooded by rainwater drainage.
You're absolutely right. Local government has no jurisdiction to address drainage/flooding issues that originate from or on private property. If this involved a flooding issue caused by runoff from public right of way, then the local jurisdiction could intervene.Simply not true.
The public utility company has no jurisdiction to act concerning how a private party alters their land unless it affects their system. From all presented, this has nothing to do with any possible public drainage system.
Hell, I could build a dam around my property and intentionally flood my house and the city would have no right to do a damn thing about it.
