Please keep catch basins in the yard free of debris

Please make every effort to keep the area around the rear-yard storm drains clear from debris. Do not sweep any debris or grass clippings into any drains in your yard or along the curb in the streets. Both the rear-yard drains and the street drains empty into the South Park detention basin in the rear of our subdivision and any debris swept into the drains contribute to drainage problems in the basin. If there is a drain that is in your yard which is covered over and cannot be located during our ongoing maintenance, the HOA will not be responsible for its cleaning and any costs from emergency clean-outs will be charged to the homeowner. Please refer to the township’s storm drain map or contact your HOA board if you suspect you have a hidden drain.

Important Information about sump lines

We continue to receive questions about sump lines running from our homes in the subdivision. Sump lines are the responsibility of homeowners. They must tie into the rear yard storm drains. They are not allowed to drain into the street. They should be checked regularly for proper operation to avoid flooding and pump failure. Routine maintenance can help avoid future issues. For example, making sure the check valve is operating properly and routinely clearing the sump pipe all the way to the storm drain are critical. If sump line are overflowing then they need to be serviced quickly, e.g. cleaned out or replaced.


If a rear yard storm catch basin is full of water and not draining properly, then please alert the board right away. If the

obstruction can be cleared with a water jet, then the association pays. If actual repairs are required, then all the houses connected to the rear yard storm drain line in question will share the cost.


For storm and sewer line problems, the following vendors are available:

  • Metro Sewer

  • Big Jims Sewer & Drain Cleaning

  • Kensington Valley Excavating
