Our Little Dam4989 katseluaThis 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 Road814 katseluaHigh 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 Road724 katseluaThe 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.

The Whitecroft "Canal" and Dam722 katseluaWater flowing over the dam during the worst rains I'd seen in England.

Dead End Road708 katseluaJust below the road leading to the "new bridge" over the River Severn, near Powick.

Looking Towards Bransford627 katseluaColletts 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.

Our Little Dam, Working Full Time593 katseluaPerhaps we should install a small hydroelectric plant?

The Small Stream, from the Bridge571 katseluaThis is normally just a muddy area in the garden. With the heavy rains, however, it became quite a quick flowing stream.
