Christine Townsend’s parents bought the home in 1978 and left it to their daughter when they died.
“This was their dream home, and it’s just been an incredible neighborhood, an incredible community, and their dream was for myself and my brother was to be able to carry on this family legacy,” Townsend said.
But what was a dream is also a nightmare.
“There has been a huge problem with the storm runoff water coming onto the property and coming into the home,” she said.
Townsend said getting a long-term fix hadn’t happened after all these years.
“I’m hoping to get some leadership and some help because this is beyond my ability to take care of and just to preserve my family home,” she said.
Orange County told Channel 9 that the Roads and Drainage Division is investigating the issue. They cleaned the pipes to ensure there were no obstructions.
The maintenance unit is now compiling the complaint logs and work orders for the area, which will be provided to a consultant to start an evaluation.
That should happen in a couple of months.
