the little drain, on the left, doesn't work right so when there's heavy rain like we got last week, it backed up because it's on a slope. As a result it leaks in to the takeaway business, floods it and leaves a huge puddle in front of his business.
Such a shame, and I dare say complaining to the powers that be have not resulted in much help, besides the sandbags. Beautiful door, as commented above.
How awful. I bet the water makes a lot of damage.
ReplyDeleteGod bless, Bill.
Looks like flood is happening
ReplyDeleteWell that's not good. Wonder why it's not fixed then!
ReplyDeleteE' un grosso problema.Buona giornata Bill.
ReplyDeleteSewers are always a pain when they overflow. But I like the doors a lot.

Not ideal at all.
ReplyDeleteAs in England, the sewage system is too old and in need of renewal. That will be quite a job.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a problem, the drain should be routed another direction?
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day!
Gosh...that drain is so darn tiny!
ReplyDeleteWater can really throw a whammy on things when least expected. I am sure that might be a major job to fix. Great shot!
ReplyDeleteCouncil needs to step up and do its job.
ReplyDeleteHello, dear Bill... I'm back.
ReplyDeleteThese residents are not well at all.
Great week of 2025. A friendly hug
~~~~~~
...what a mess.
ReplyDeleteLooks like they are fighting a losing battle with the water. Perhaps the city could fix the drain? Love the colors in your photo.
ReplyDeleteWow, that has to be troubling to deal with all the time.
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame, and I dare say complaining to the powers that be have not resulted in much help, besides the sandbags. Beautiful door, as commented above.
ReplyDeleteYou have to feel for the poor business owner. They must dread approaching storms, Bill.
ReplyDeleteThat definitely needs fixing, Bill.
ReplyDeleteHm ... Who owns the drain? That's where the solution lies
ReplyDeleteThat's a bad thing!
ReplyDeleteIt's sad that heavy rains produce problems for the takeaway business.
ReplyDeleteThat has to be so frustrating for the takeaway owner. But I do love the look of the businesses with their cheery doors.
ReplyDeleteThat must be irritating for them.
ReplyDeleteA Couple Of Bags Of Sand Is A Head Shaker For Sure There Mr Bill - Hopefully Someone Steps Up Soon
ReplyDeleteThink Snow ,
Cheers
Oh dear, that's not good.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Somebody better get that fixed as being flooded isn't nice.
ReplyDeleteUy que pena. Buena foto. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteYes we can have rather spectacular flooding here in the subtropics as well! Always tragic
ReplyDeleteThat's not good. Maybe they should look into fixing the drain! :)
ReplyDeleteUhoh...
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen such a small drain. I feel bad for the owners and customers of the takeaway business.
ReplyDeleteSounds like such a frustrating issue!
ReplyDeleteI hope it gets resolved quickly!
