Residents urge River Ridge board to address Lake 8 flooding as foundation damage reported
Summary
Oak Run residents praised Seaside repairs and asked the River Ridge board to consider similar work near Lake 8 to stop prolonged pooling that residents say is reaching foundations; the board said it will consider the project in the FY2025/2026 budget.
Rich Batterberry, representing Oak Run residents, told the River Ridge Board that remediation work done at Seaside 1 and Seaside 2 was received "very favorable" and urged the district to consider similar measures around Lake 8 to address long-lasting pooled rainwater.
Batterberry said residents are worried water is reaching building foundations and noted that "One resident incurred significant costs trying to mitigate water coming up through the floor." District Engineer Charlie Krebs reviewed the Seaside scope of work and said because the area was never regraded, Lake 8 issues could likely be addressed using similar regrading and drainage improvements. Board Chair Bob Schultz said the matter "would be considered during the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 budget process."
