We inspected the area and believe that the new concrete that was poured by Tincher Concrete isn’t at the correct pitch and is causing the water to stay within the drainage gutter. Tincher Concrete is going to be notified of this issue.

b. 12/27/19 Update: Homeowner at 123 Newport Drive informed us that the new house being built just south of him is causing storm water drainage issues due to the driveway culvert being clogged with silt. The builder was contacted last month, and he had the driveway culvert cleaned out.
