I to County <br />Rd. H -2. None had water in basement last year. Some had <br />standing water in back yard. Contacted 15 of the 16 Mounds <br />View property owners. The one missed is his next door neighbor <br />whose property is high. <br />Mr. Boault stated that he has drain tile system and often <br />it is working, so he knows water level may be four feet or so <br />below surface. He stated that the problem really is that <br />people built homes on swamps. Of course, they will have water <br />problems. <br />John Bluhm, 7832 Bona - had water in basement for about 6 months. <br />Drain tile has been installed and sump pump still runs occasionally. <br />Originally thought water problem came from swamp to east, but <br />his test holes seemed to indicate it was coming from the west. <br />Lived there five years and 1975 was first year experienced water <br />problems. <br />John Pickar, 2299 Knoll - has walkout basement. Some neighbors <br />had basement water but not much. None in his. Biggest difference <br />
