Welcome!

Please feel free to post any comments regarding how you are effected by the increasing ground water level.

The goal of this blog is to engage the City of Fircrest into installing a drainage system in our vicinity to promote a more livable area to reside, as well as stabilizing our property values.

My Backyard

Ground Water, as it enters NE Corner of property.

I had to dig a trench, to drain water into a four inch pipe, leading to storm sewer.  
My backyard is ruined.
Standing water, next to foundation...
Note water feed, near top of pool, which drains non-stop.  This isn't rain water, it's spring water.
27,000+ gallons of water feeding storm drain, which ultimately lead to the Leach Creek Holding Basin of which outflow is regulated by the City of Tacoma.
