This Spring was extremely <br />bad. SD had that our basement flooded. We talked with our neighbors <br />(1833 Cente.r Street & 1825 Center Street) and they too had e.xtreme water <br />problems this Spring_ <br /> <br />So my wife and I set out In early April to see if there was something <br />that could be clone to al/elliate this problem. We read books, contacted <br />the City of CenterviJ/e (Paul ?, the city planner) and had numerous <br />landscape desIgners give us their thoughts and quotes. <br /> <br />The City of Cenrervlfle told us to fill in our baCkyard and use drainage <br />tile to move rhe water to the back of our yard. From there the water <br />would drain across our neighhorsbac!<yard and into Q marshy area. <br /> <br />We took this plan ana presented it to 5 different landscape designers. <br />AJJ 5 said this planQf act;onwould not work. In fact all 5 said this <br />would only cause more problems for us and our neighhors. This option <br />would kill most of the trees on the western edge of our yard, but most <br />importanrly, if we build up our backyard there is a strong possibility <br />that instead of channeling the water away from our house we will be <br />sending it directly towards our house. The. engineers with the City" of <br />Centerville faile.d to notice that the area they want us to channel the <br />water to has Q higher elevation than our yard. Another issue with this <br />option pertains to 1825 Center Street, The water draining from the <br />surrounding homes eventually ends up in a marshy area adjacent to 7825 <br />Center Street. As water fif/s this marshy area it: (foods into our <br />neighbors backyard. <br /> <br />The predominant solution offered by these land,~cQpers was to have a ditch <br />run across our backyards and into Cl sediment pond. We would then IJse <br />drainage tile to channel the water from our yards into that ditch. The <br />City of Crenterville owns wooded property that runs the extent of our <br />baCkyards. Therefqre we are asking the City of Centerville to fLlnd part <br />of this project. Mainly the ditch running the length of our yards and <br />also somewhere for the overflow to go besides into the backyard of 1825 <br />Center Street. <br /> <br />There is a drainage ditch that runs from Centerville Road to <br />ClPproximar:ely half way up the nonhern portion of Center Street then <br /> <br />1 <br />
