In the recent past we have notice a marked increase in the amount of water drainage through our area to the extent that several houses have been flooded with water during moderate to heavy rains. We feel that the increase in the volume of water drainage is a direct result of new housing construction in our area without appropriate measures being taken by the City of Paris to provide adequate drainage systems.
