Our Little Dam4619 viewsThis is the first time I'd seen water actually go over the sides of the dam. Normally the water just goes through the lower portion in the middle. Fortunately our stream was able to take the water safely away from the house and garden.

Sewage on Colletts Green Road461 viewsHigh rates, undersized sewers. We have complained about this for years, but get the old "budget" story. The sewers were probably fine until the housing estate was built. No increased resources were put into the sewer, so the water bubbles up on Colletts Green Road, and then flows away into the River Severn through the run-off system.

Colletts Green Road363 viewsThe undersized sewers are again not up to the task. The water bubbles up, and then flows from the sewers into the highway run-off system. So sewage is escaping and going down into the River Severn. We have complained about this for 15 or more years, but nobody does anything about it. We installed our own mini sewage treatment plant so we weren't dependent upon the main sewers.

Our Little Dam, Working Full Time242 viewsPerhaps we should install a small hydroelectric plant?

The Small Stream, from the Bridge236 viewsThis is normally just a muddy area in the garden. With the heavy rains, however, it became quite a quick flowing stream.

Looking Towards Bransford233 viewsColletts Green Road, looking towards Bransford. The water fountain in the middle of the road is the sewer. It flows from the sewer into the highway drainage, and then down into the River Severn. Fortunately the height of the road keeps it from coming onto our property.

Marjorie and The Car228 viewsThis little lane leads off the main road heading from Powick to the "new bridge" across the River Severn.
