Southside residents tired of dealing with perpetual street flooding despite no sign of rain

Southside residents credited road engineering issues as the reason that they have been dealing with flooding issues for over 10 years — even when there are no signs of rain or storms. Residents along Helm Drive, which is located behind Julington Creek, in the Del Rio neighborhood, have dealt with water constantly filling the street and receding for years. The flooding, which reaches calf-height on dry days, has transformed daily life for residents. One neighbor constructed a deck just to access their home, while others struggle with basic services.
