What you’re looking at is one China Spring neighborhood - yards soaked and flooded following heavy rain.
“It makes me frustrated, I think someone should take responsibility,” said one China Spring resident Albert Manigo.
Something neighbors tell 25 News isn’t a one time thing.
Flooding happens often - leaving behind serious damage.
“There will be debris left in our yards, trees, branches, paper and all types of bottles,” said Manigo.
25 News walked through the yard with one neighbor as he pointed out storm debris scattered across lawns - left behind after the most recent storm.
Telling us the water has even made it inside his home before.
And he’s wanting something to be done.
“I’ve reached out to several people. I’ve reached out to the county, the state, the core of engineers and no one seems to want to take responsibility,” said Manigo.
Leaving him and nearby neighbors to tackle the issue on their own, with no answers.
“I would like them to come out and at least survey it and fix the problem or just come out and look at it. Every time I get someone on the phone all they say is ‘we don’t have anything to do with that,” said Manigo.
It's a frustrating cycle for families in this neighborhood.
“All of my neighbors have been complaining about it but I just think something needs to be done about it,” said Manigo.
