Скачать или смотреть Parma residents inundated with overflowing creek water still fighting for a fix

For some neighbors in Parma, whenever it rains, it floods, leaving mucky water nowhere to go but inside their homes.

Small creeks are all over Northeast Ohio. They're pretty but can be problematic when storms strike, especially for neighbors on Pleasant Valley Road.

Jean McDonald has spent the last 35 years making a home on Pleasant Valley Road, spending nearly $60,000 investing on her basement that can't keep water from coming in.

"[We got] feet of water in the basement, three times in less than two years," McDonald said.

Rainwater, often mixed with sewage overflow, comes from the creek that runs directly behind their home.

"This morning, it was already over the bridge and starting to come up into the years," McDonald said.
