I get alot of property owners that extend their lawns right to the edge of the road, some fill in the ditches for their lawns, then they like to phone and bitch when the road in front of their house is flooded with water and mud
Ahem, *my dad*, ahem. He filled in a ditch and the ends of 2 different culverts between his 2 drives when he paved them, years ago. Now the road and ends of the drives flood with every rain. Being on a short, dead end street doesn't help because you never see the county down there unless they are plowing snow in the winter, or applying chip seal once every ten years. All of the ditches om the south side are due for maintenance and the shoulders have grown up higher than the road. It's gotten bad enough that the water doesn't want to go to the ditch anyways. We have a good county road crew, but there's just a lot of work for them to do on a limited budget so a lot of the lake drives get passed over.
