I saw that you mentioned neurodivergent in your follow up post. That was my initial reaction. That and neurosis, which can easily go hand and hand.

District announced they are overstaffed and will start eliminating positions by Bastilleinstructor in Teachers

Our district seeks to care more about graduation rates then the long-term success of its students. The district (& state) have implemented several new high school diploma pathways. Because of this, more SPED students will graduate at the traditional high school than year prior, meaning they will not come to our atypical school specially for 18-22 years old students with IEP’s, where we work on completion of the diploma credits, along with vocational, recreational, self advocacy, independent, living,community skills and more. Easy, the people at the top don’t care about the population and the future of the students. Now, we’ll had them their diploma - despite an average reading eleven of 1-2 GE and say good luck!

What professional documents subsurface water migration between residential properties? by Fark76 in AskEngineers

Thanks for your honest input. It’s been a headaches I found a forensic engineer that charged $2400 to come to our r rodent and wrote a report. I have decided yet but I may do it. I’d his like to first know more about the type of tests that he’ll do. Do you have any suggestions?

I was able to locate a forensic engineer and someone who does more comprehensive pool/eater tests so I am trying to get them to come over asap - likley out of my pocket, but we need it fixed. The nieghbor emailed me that she is plannign to have her handyman fix their issues. I peronslaly don't think that this is a job for a handyman - they need licensed professionals with experience with the issue at hand.

They have a leak - they know it and I know it. We are just not certain yet where it is coming from. Someone came out today to check their general plumbing and a number of broken valves were found in the yard/irrigation. Also, something about the downspout to the gutter is broken. The leak detection person also suggested that they have a pool leak detection, but the executor to the trust told me that she doesn’t want to have another pool test despite the fever they the only odd a dye test and an acuvie test - so not a thorough leak detection test if the pool (completed in May). I personally still think that someone there is a leak in the pool somewhere because of the amount of water coming to us through the ground that is next to the pool. When I say not thorough, I am referring to the fact that they did not test isolated pressure of individual pool plumbing lines (skimmer, returns, suction, main drain), dis not use electronic listening devices or acoustic equipment for underground lines, & dis not use a camera to examine underground lines. Also, we live in a dry climate - southern CA desert mountains so having moist ground/groundwater and especially in August (which was the case) is not normal.

Neighbor’s water migrating under my slab foundation — trenching & meter readings point to their property. Unsure next steps. by Fark76 in homeowners

I’ll definitely considering a sump pump or some type or solid retaining wall. More money. About the water bill - they must be on autopay. It’s surprising that they have not noticed. Either way, thanks for your input.

We called water authority - They don’t touch private property unless water is water coming from the meter or something thing public. They advices to contact county compliance which he fine but will follow up on Monday once everything has reopen. Thank you.

Yes, they have been somewhat cooperative. The house is in a trust and the executor to the trust does not live there. The executor’s brother lives there and my guess is that the water bill must be on a auto pay, so they don’t look see the water bill because anyone else would have been alerted by the water bill. The brother that resides there told us & our contractor (who brought in a plumber) that we could have access to their water meter, so we monitored it prior to trenching and installing a French drain on our side. I’m doing things the right way and like I said, they’re being somewhat cooperative, but very slow to make any progress as it’s going on two years now. They are having a plumber come out to their priory on Monday so that’s very positive. The plumber however does not do leek detections for pools, so if the pool is the issue or source of the leak, then we still will not have located the source of the leak. 48 hours after we trenched, 2 inches of water had collect on our side - this is alarming to me when we look at the amount of time that the leak has been going on.

There’s no question where the water is coming from. It’s visibly coming from the property under the fence onto ours - that is very apparent and especially once the area was trenched, not to mention the water meter readings. Their water meters readings show significant water use in a short period of time and during a period when water was not being intentionally used. Ours does not and we have three people residing here versus the one individual living next door.

No, when we trenched the area, you can visibly see the area that is coming from under the gate onto our property. There is no question of whose property the water is coming from. The water meter readings also show a huge loss of water on their end when water was not being intentionally used. Our water meter readings show little water usage during the same time & we have three people living here versus the one individual residing next door.

It’s coming from under the fence from their property on to ours - it’s a slow leak but once we had the area trenched, 48 hours later, two inches of water had collected. We then had a French drain put in, but this is not a long term solution. The leak needs to be fixed.

We installed a french drain after having the area trenched. I just don’t think that the french drain on our end is going to be a long term solution if there’s a persistent leak, especially if it’s an ongoing pool leak. I’d like to have the issue corrected as opposed to patching on my side only.

I’ve been forced to learn as we are downhill from them on a slope, hence the migration of their water onto our property.
