Mr. Sculley has stated that there was a farm road along the western edge of his property that is now underwater. The City Engineer stated that when he was on the site, the road area was inundated with water.

The City Engineer stated that he is going to have his surveyor look at that swale to the east of the cul-de-sac for Gervais Woods, to make sure the water is going where it is supposed to.
