A handful of houses in La Mesa are dealing with flash floods in their backyards. That’s because their properties are right in between two city storm drains.
“This portion of the creek has expanded by eight feet,” Ellis said.“It’s eroding our property.”
Ellis says the water tore apart his crossing bridge in 2017. He replaced it with this makeshift one but says it’s barely holding up.“We’re trying to grow fruit here but this water is highly contaminated because it’s road run-off, so that means petroleum, oil etc.” This water comes from the City’s storm drain in the north. It then flows through four properties and comes out the City’s other storm drain on the south-end of Ellis’ backyard. Ellis has asked the City to make changes so that the flood water doesn't affect his land.The City says this portion of the ditch is on private property, and they can't touch it.
