The Mt. Carmel City Council has pledged to help a local resident find a solution to a drainage issue caused by a neighbor. Shirley Graetz lives at 8 Lambert Drive and she told the council Monday that her neighbor has aimed their downspout toward her property. Last week’s heavy rains caused much of Graetz’s property to flood and she is trying to protect the integrity of her home’s foundation from all of the water. Street Commissioner Eric Ikemire said he and street superintendent Dave Easter would look into the issue to see if there was anything that could be done to alleviate the problem.
