There is new construction behind my lot and Im having drainage problems due to the construction. Is there anything the City can do to make the developer drain his development away from me?
There is a misconception that new development is not allowed to drain onto existing development. If the area drained onto the adjacent property prior to development, it may continue to do so after development. New development may not worsen existing structural flooding as reported to the City. If problems are being created during construction, please contact the Department of Public Works at 817-459-6550 and we will investigate to determine whether the development is being properly constructed.
