Jason Haas, 1483 Fox Point Place, I am a Brookwood Homeowner. It was amazing at
what happened and it did work as it was supposed to. The water came to 2 feet from the
foundations. There are 8-9 houses that have been affected. Was this an act of Mother
Nature or human error? Up at Hidden Springs they are building a bridge over Dry Creek
and have diverted the water to a small channel and not letting the water through the
natural flow. A few homes in Hidden Springs have been flooded because of the diversion
of the water. An Engineer has stated that this could have caused the breach of Dry Creek
in Brookwood. General discussion.
Bastian moves to adjourn. Seconded by Bandy. ALL A YES: MOTION
