Our Little Dam4946 mol gekuckt ginnThis 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 Road795 mol gekuckt ginnHigh 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 Road706 mol gekuckt ginnThe 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.

Looking Towards Bransford605 mol gekuckt ginnColletts 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.

The Small Stream, from the Bridge532 mol gekuckt ginnThis is normally just a muddy area in the garden. With the heavy rains, however, it became quite a quick flowing stream.

Our Little Dam, Working Full Time526 mol gekuckt ginnPerhaps we should install a small hydroelectric plant?
