City Council Minutes of 2/26/2007 Service Director Limpert commented that drainage has always been. a problem in this area of Cuyahoga County. That is why the original. farmers put in drain tiles. When the developments came in, those drain tiles got torn out. He has had his foremen looking at this situation to see what can. be done. He will work with the Law Director to determine what the city's legal. responsibility is for backyard drainage Councilman Orlowski said the properties are sloped. towards the back. The drains should carry surface water aut of the area. The properties drain to the surface drains and create lakes in the residents' yards. The pipes need to be cleaned out. This is only the second tine in 30 years the residents have asked. for help. He thinks there is an easement and. feels the city would be able to go back. and clean out the drains.
