Pughsville's Issues
 

We have flooding in subdivision Pughsville (Suffolk, VA).  Years ago, in the 60's and 70's, when I was growing up, there was no such thing as floods in the Pughsville area.  Since a different infrastructure has risen in this area, we have been warring for quite sometime to get drainage in this area because of the new developments taking place and we keep getting pushed back and monies were available for the project, but 2 story houses are continuously being built in an area, almost on top of each other, and we have no storm water, but paying the fees through HRSD monthly.  Ditches fill with water and cover the streets.  Ditches are not maintained, water does not flow anywhere, Suffolk dug ditches deeper with equipment that was not conducive to the job.  We need pipes in those ditches, large pipes.
