I am a 15 year old who attends the IB Program at Princess Anne High School. My neighborhood, Chesopeian Colony, suffers anual flooding as a result of a mechanical engineering mistake. This mistake occurred a couple years ago when a construction crew lowered the drain that leads to the bay by a few feet. As a result of the change, when there is a high tide (and increased rainfalls) flooding emerges. We have gotten many of our neighbors to petition. In addition, we got in contact with Bill Bright and he was unable to help the situation. We suffer the most from this mistake because our basement floods when we experience hurricanes such as Mathew. Last November, our entire basement was under 15 inches of water, destroying virtually everything. We have also contacted our neighborhood secretary, Heather Guillespie, and she was unable to help. Please help do right because we cannot experience another destructive and devastating flood. Our reference number is 914 831 45. I can be contacted at 757-630-0062, 757-463-1714, and keenanm1012@gmail.com. I would appreciate any help or references!
