@Dean:Yikes....don’t wipe out in a snow drift or embankment.
My hubby added more sand bags today in our side yard near the road. Our neighbor has a sump pump draining to the corner of his property and diverting it in the slight swell along our road edge.With all the rain and 5 more inches to come in the next two days, He has been flooding our yard and destroying some of my planting beds. You cannot divert water onto someone else’s property so I have to get more video of it pumping out of his yard and take it to our township managers. What fun. When Ivan went through years ago, we had a similar issue except that most of his yard washed into our yard because he had no grass to hold his dirt. When we removed a tree, that allowed him to plant grass and it has not been an issue since. Just the sump pump.
Feb. 21:Adding 9 miles today of walking 6 and biking 3 miles.
TTD: 221 miles

@clepant - Tha'ts crazy! What would it cost to get an extra 30 feet of hose and run it into the street rather than your yard? Even if he placed sand bags to block it from your property that would be cheap. It would also give him something to fill in where the water washes out the yard. So much for the good neighbor policy.

Well Dean, my neighbor is about three feet from the road now. You are not allowed to divert water into the streets or our storm system. When we first moved in years ago, we had water issues in our back so my hubby and I filled in dirt in our back along our house and put a drain in so the water went to my side yard and into a rain garden that I designed. He called the township on us and told them that I was diverting water into the street. We brought the township out and told them to go look and they could see the drain stopped in the middle of our yard. So here he is pumping it to the corner of his property into our yard. Funny, but we think he shut it off when he saw the sand backs out there. Today we had torrential downpour for a couple hours and there was no water. We think he is waiting till night to pump it out now. Sad that we have to deal with neighbors like this.
