Complaint
I am not sure I am contacting the correct office, but I am hoping that you can direct me to the correct person. We are having a problem with rainwater flooding our electric sewer/grinder/pump which is hooked into city sewer. Wayne Academy's different projects and C-Spire's new tower has caused water to shed from their land onto ours. We have contacted Wayne Academy and the City of Waynesboro repeatedly to help us solve this problem. At this time, the city is helping us to solve the problem with our pump, but has told us to resolve the water shedding problem directly with Wayne Academy. We have tried repeatedly with no success. We have contacted C-Spire also. We are waiting on a response from them. We would liketo be put in contact with someone who can inform us of our legal rights as a taxpayer of the City of Waynesboro in regards to this problem. 19 years ago before we were annexed into the city, we were allowed to connect in to the city sewer via a trailer park. We were annexed several years ago. Off and on for 19 years, we have had issues with our sewer pumpdue to the rainwater from other people's land. Since being annexed into the city, we have asked that city sewer be provided to the end of Joe Jordan Dr where we are located. Then we would be able to hook directly into the city sewer eliminating theneed for an electric/sewer grinder pump. During the former administration, city sewer was provided to everyone on Joe Jordan Dr up to Kay Odom drive where city sewer was then provided for the family members of that administration. We were told that the rest of the families living on Joe Jordan Dr would be provided with direct access to city sewer in the future. We are still waiting and that has been a minimum of 4 years. We have repeatedly asked that Wayne Academy build a drainage ditch on their property that would keep the rainwater from shedding onto our land. We would like to solve this peaceably. We do not have the financial resources to hire a lawyer at this time. Please forward this email to someone who can assist us with this issue. Sincerely, Ken and LaDonna Jordan
