My Trees Destroyed by Lack of City Attention

My woods were made into a swamp, destroying my trees AND property value.

I've spent more than 3 years, actually, trying to get the City of Toledo to remedy Mudd Creek from flooding my property. Four wooded acres have been under water for this time, causing many of the trees to die.

It took this news broadcast and the help of a city councilwoman, Lindsay Webb, to get the creek dredged properly and mitigate the excess water problem. About half the trees have died due to a major city water main break that poured into the stream for three years or so. Trees don't survive very well with fluorinated water to drink!!!

Now the task will be to get rid of the dead trees and debris so new maple and buckeye saplings, that I've nurtured elseware on the propertty, can be planted. Maybe a new parkland type area can be re-created.....

Thanks for your support, Marion. I happen to be that poor man. Have to add information about this situation at the top right. The city finally did dredge the creek and the water has gone down, after 3 years. But a water main had been broken for the 3 year period, allowing flouridated water to continually run into the creek and onto my land, killing about half the trees in my wooded area. Now I have to deal with this situation.

Hey Dave, I just now saw this. What's been happening lately?  Are things any better?
