Comments on: How is committee planning to…address water shed issues? http://www.centergroveinc.org/2009/04/20/planning-smith-valley-flooding/ Following the future of White River Township Wed, 02 Nov 2011 18:10:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mike Raber http://www.centergroveinc.org/2009/04/20/planning-smith-valley-flooding/comment-page-1/#comment-718 Mike Raber Sat, 09 May 2009 02:57:41 +0000 http://www.centergroveinc.org/?p=1318#comment-718 The developments on Olive Branch Rd. East of Runyon Rd. caused more run off in Turkey Pen Creek than it could handle like it did 20-30 yrs. ago. Once it got to Honey Creek, it became a big problem for Smith Valley. The County or Greenwood is not ready to address the problem. I hope you don't think a merger will fix a problem of this scale. The developments on Olive Branch Rd.

Living next to Honey Creek I can see the problem from my backyard and saw the problem first hand with two feet of water in my basement last June. If the "new entity" is going to be better than the current system I need to know how, addressing concerns such as this, and planning on how to handle issues as this is what I would expect the committee to address. I was glad to hear Pat Sherman say Monday night that "storm sewers" were something the Infrastructure committee was looking in to.

"IF" the reorganization is successful, it will not be in place until some time in 2010 or 2011. Do you think that maybe we will have a few rains between now and then? A storm water district may need to be established...and probably should have been established years ago. This is not a new problem, just one our current governing structure has not addressed in such a matter to protect our citizens or their properties. Dann,
