A bridge over a tiny creek is causing problems between neighbors in Peculiar.

A babbling brook runs in front of about a dozen homes on Kendall Road. The residents must build their own bridges to get from their homes to the street.

Candi Troia blames a neighbor’s bridge for causing flooding on her property.

“The water comes so hard and heavy from up there that nothing can get through there,” she said. “All the tree debris just (blocks) everything up."

Last year, she said her home flooded two days after she moved in, causing $75,000 in damage.

"He says it’s a bridge, I call it a dam,” she said of her neighbor, Jeff Hart.

Hart built his bridge out of cement, unlike the other wooden ones in the area. He said his home has flooded before.

He said the bridge now has a much bigger pipe, and it’s the only bridge on the street stable enough for fire trucks to cross.

"Before that bridge was ever put in, this area flooded,” Hart said.

The city provided a letter from the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, which oversees water flow, and it stated that Hart has done nothing wrong.

Officials said they can’t force Hart to change the bridge.

However, city officials did say that they want to build a new storm drain system, but they don’t have the funding.

They conducted a flood study in 2006 and are asking for federal funding.
