Charles A Reinhardt <br /> 1723 Meadow Lane <br /> - <br /> Centerville, MN 55038 <br /> 651 -407 -3440 <br /> June 26, 2012 <br /> Problem is standing water. <br /> Standing water each Spring, Summer and Fall. <br /> If it rains the rain water does not go down for 7 days to weeks. <br /> Nesting Mosquitoes, laying eggs, are a problem. <br /> Plants die do to standing water. <br /> Kids cant go in back yard do to poor drainage. <br /> My neighbor Dale at 7008 Centerville Rd said he cannot cut his grass their because he said he is afraid of <br /> getting stuck on his ridding lawn mower. <br /> The water can get to 3-4 inches deep. <br /> The Cause. <br /> The Cause of the Rain water is from the Chauncey Barett Gardens Building roof and surrounding yards. <br /> The roof on the Chauncey Barett Gardens Building is huge with much run off and not all goes to the culvert <br /> resulting in very large amounts of water displaced in my back yard. <br /> When the building was first built the drainage was much better and water would flow to the drain culvert. <br /> After a few years the building put down Round Up to kill all vegetation. After that they put down a weed <br /> barrier with rock on top. The result was that water cannot drain to the drain culvert. No swale or drain <br /> culvert was put in place. <br /> Suggested solution. <br /> A swale could be put in. <br /> A drain tile could be put in. <br /> The drain culvert is much lower than the land around it so it should not be hard to fix. <br /> The rain water would then go into the Nurp or holding pond. <br /> Thank you. <br />
