Our home backyard lot borders Helotes Creek. Since moving here in 1994, our property has flooded 5 time when there has been concentrated heavy rains . Three of these flooding events entered our house and garage causing substantial damages. Our FEMA insurance which cost over $800 a year only covered the over $15,000 damages to our house. The over $3000 damages to our backyard plants, fence, and furniture are not covered. Our water comes from the Trinity Aquifer. Adding 1,000,000 million gallons of treated sewage to creeks that negatively effect our water amount and quality causing us great harm.
