KIMBALL, Tenn. – Some residents say their property is being washed down Kimball Cove Branch after recent heavy rains and flooding, and they want the city to do something to stop it.
At the February meeting of the Kimball Board of Mayor and Aldermen, resident Mary Jo Talley spoke about the city’s flooding problems.
Talley lives next to the creek, which runs along Hillcrest Drive and Pinecrest Lane, and said she’s never seen flooding at her house like she’s seen lately.
Mayor Rex Pesnell said the city has a plan to address the problem, but workers haven’t been able to start because it’s been too wet.
“We’re waiting on it to freeze real good or either dry up a little bit because we feel like if we try to get in there right now, it would just tear up more than we would fix,” he said.
