Further more a flood in 2008 and then another “high water” in 2009 in the residential area of old towne greenwood makes me wonder why nothings happened in a year? Perhaps the current problems should be addressed before expansion is considered. I dread the summer here! Can’t help the weather but how much water is being drained into the creek can be controlled to some extent

There are also mosquito and drainage problems where pleasant run creek runs through old towne greenwood and our taxes was raised several times over the years for “maintenence” but thats happened are “inspections”. A little less talk and alot more action would be a great improvement and will definitely influence who I vote for.

I believe Center Grove council is doing a great job looking at all the options and variables of a reorganization, but we need to address some immediate situations that can not wait. Between now and the time of a proposed reorganization, there are some issues that need to be addressed immediately. The water is standing and accumulating in “Old Smith Valley”. From Max Ave between Morgantown Rd. through the old community Center area, down through the neihborhoods
to Paddock Rd. My first concern is someone needs to spray for mosquitos real soon. Secondly,all of the creeks surrounding this area need to be expanded or dredged to move more water out quicker than is currently the case. We are setting ourselves up for another disaster of flooding again by not dealing with the water run-off issues. All the new properties got drainage systems while older existing neihborhoods have been overlooked. We have a noticeable increase in the amount of water staying in this area since all the new housing developments have gone up. Now Old Smith Valley residents are paying a heavier price for what seems to be a neglected resolution of drainage issues from long ago.
