Imagine my surprise when visiting Windsong Park today after being told it survived the recent downpour quite well.
The surprise was an enormous amount of dirt in the roadway and signs that the water had backed up at the drains overflowing the curbs.

This street is normally quite clean. Today it is filthy

Water needed the handicap ramp I guess

All the way to the corner dirt is covering the sidewalk

At this point I took a trip thru another rabbit hole provide by one of Wildomar’s industrious little beavers that like to play in the creek (I trespassed onto city property) only to find the source of all this mayhem.

Once again the old farts grapper is 32″ long. This pipe is a 60 inch pipe that is 50% occluded

Drainage for the Tot-Lot appears to be 100% pugged up and water is still oozing out of the line days later.

This pipe leads back to the Tot-Lot and is still weeping water days later

With the recent flooding that occurred at Elsinore High School being blamed by some on a failed city drainage system one can’t help wonder if that drainage line wasn’t in the same condition. You say no way. Guess what there are numerous examples of this same condition throughout the City of Wildomar.
More examples that are easy to find are at the new parkland on the eastside.

Another 60 inch line with 50% blockage.

And at a reoccurring spot called Regency Heritage Park

This drains Palomar Street into Regency Heritage Park. 50% blockage

Normal condition prior to the storm

Look maw, no trash

Park side of the pedestrian bridge in park

Street side of the bridge which receives all that trash and dirt.

These are only a very few places that are easily seen. Lurking throughout a city with no plan are many areas just like this waiting to reek havoc on the daily lives of Wildomar Citizens.
Time will tell if the local school district is next line to file what some will call a frivolous lawsuit to recover damages to high school campus.
