a significant drainage problem in the area of Ridge Lane and
Long Lake Road that he feels is the result of an underground line
that is of inadequate size. Last year, the intersection at Ridge
Lane and Long Lake Road was flooded because water backed up in
this area.
Peterson, Gregory K., 5079 Red Oak - no water problem. Wondered
what kind of storm would collection system be designed for.
Roger Short answered that normal is for a 10 -year storm. Reten-
tion areas may have to be designed for 50 -year storms.
Overby, Robert, 5272 Red Oak - no basement water, but 1 - 2"
standing in back yard. Four houses south similar situation.
St. Marie, Dave, 5278 Red Oak - across H -2 to north swamp gets
2 - 4' deep. Homes south of his were built on swamp that was
filled in with sand. Garden in southeast corner and planted
trees and hit water 2' deep. Has piezometer in his yard.
Rowley, Tom, 2562 Ridge Lane - no water until July 4, but neighbors
had it previously.
Williams, Bob, 5279 Sunnyside - no water problems, but neighbors
on east side of his street, several houses south had water in
basements.
Weaver, Joe, 2613 Louisa - water on property and basement both
summer 1974 and 1975. Has drain tile around interior that
dumps into sanitary sewer. Back of lot is wet most of year
round and standing water during spring & summer. Drain tile
takes water most of summer.
Fields, Jerry, 2255 Lambert - no problems but water came within
one inch of floor this summer. Tile east of his place is
plugged as well as tile that City cleaned this fall.
Doug Wallace, 3rd house east end of Sherwood, north side of street,
had water in back yard approximately 11" above basement floor.
Flow seemed to be comming from under garage. Used wet vacuum
and removed about 60 gallons /hour for about one month. Neighbor
just west was taking water on east wall of basement. Stream came
in about size of pencil.
