Common water damage problems in Chester
- Neighborhoods laid out before anyone was required to manage runoff at all
- Rock a short way down, so water moves sideways instead of downward
- Intense summer storms exceeding what the older street drainage was sized for
- Responsibility for drainage split between county, state road and private owners
