Our 1920’s house sits in a small valley between hills. The land is sloped so that when it rains, all the water coming down the hills flows in a river to the house before continuing down hill.

There is approximately 300 feet of pipe running under the yard that the water is suppose to be flowing through. The pipe opening is just over the property line and is on our neighbor’s land. The pipe is clogged with an unknown amount of mud and other debris and possibly collapsed at some point in its 300 foot run. The opening is about 4 feet down and the hole is constantly filled with water and mud.

Possibly related to this issue is small sink holes that develop on our property that water pours down into when it rains. Also we have water coming up mysterious holes in the cellar of the house. That water flows at a constant stream when it’s not raining and increases flow when it is.

We don’t know who to talk to about this problem or what the solution would be.
