Bill King, 1820 Martin Luther King Drive, came addressing a water problem with the new houses at the back of his property. Mr. King said one morning he had approximately ten gallons of water in his house, his back yard was full of water, and he feels something should be done to stop the water from coming in his yard. He has been at this location for twenty years, and has never had water in his yard. Mr. King said he has talked to Mr. Williams and Mr. Yates, Earl Smith, City Engineer, regarding this problem, and feels this should be taken care of by the contractors. City Manager Malone said this has been looked into and advised Mr. King that the City has contacted Mr. Yates, and he realizes that the drainage plan for his development calls for the water to be flowing to the east to the drainage ditch that is adjacent to the property. That at the present time the soil that has been placed there is too wet to get equipment on the property to make that necessary adjustment, but before he is turned loose by the City, he is going to have to make the drainage plan work.
