Dear sirs,
We are writins rezarding the poor drainage on Elm and State. This hzs been a problem for sometine and fortunstely we have been able to cope with it, but we feel each year it becollies more of a problem to keep
the water out of our store.
As a result of' the last rain, we ha4 acproximately 4600.00 worth of dama5e to new carpeting and carpet rememants we had stored in our lower room. In order to recover some of this loss, we had to clean the carpet an9 ere now selling the new carpst and rernemants at a reduced price. As a good citizen of Carlsbad we are not asking for .my reimbursement froni the City, but we feel that it is time the City made a real dedicated effort to relieve this water problem.
Due to the fact that all of our equipment was out pump- in,- water fron! a residence in Lake San Nercos, we had to call the Fire Department to help us. The rr,en who were sent did a very fine job. We feel the citizens of Carlsbed are very fortunate to hsve such hiah caliber of Een serving our commnity.
;?e hope to hear from you concernink this matter.
Sincerely yours,
WBU
