Residents in a Winnipeg neighbourhood are frustrated with a lack of action by the City of Winnipeg to resolve an issue surrounding excessive water runoff from an adjacent property.
Flooding is an issue all homeowners dread, but for a handful of residents in a Winnipeg neighbourhood its become a regular occurrence.
“Every time it rains now, I have to pump,” explained Evans. “A couple ago, she added soil, and kinda got away with that one, then after that she went and added a 3-inch brick on top. So all the water drains away, and comes down here and comes this way.” “There’s only so much you can do where you wend up affecting everyone else,” Pratt said. “Like I brought that up a couple inches, I couldn’t bring it up anymore because if I did, then all of a sudden more water is forcing towards these guys, and I rather like my neighbours.”
The owner of the other home in question declined an interview by Global News, but told reporters none of the neighbours have approached them in regards to their drainage concerns, and City of Winnipeg inspectors approved all required work permits.Evans has attempted multiple times over the past few years to have the City take action, with little to no luck.
