Benton neighborhood drainage issue resolved after years of flooding
BENTON, Ark. – Water is finally draining in a Benton neighborhood that has been dealing with flooding issues for years.
The issue was brought to Working 4 You last April after several homeowners in the Centennial Valley subdivision complained that homes were coming apart at the seams due to the excessive water.
Benton homeowner concerned flood water is cracking foundation
The neighborhood was built without a proper drainage system, which caused major flooding. Backyards were staying wet weeks after the rain, fences were falling and cracks were forming on the ceilings and walls inside homes.
The original developer of the subdivision Aaron Jones was arrested in 2011 and is no longer in the business, which shifted the responsibility to the Property Owners Association.

This past week, the neighborhood Property Owners Association put in French drains to help mitigate the flooding. Some drains are still waiting for instillation.
Homeowners tell our Working 4 You team they can finally sleep peacefully knowing their investments are safe. One homeowner, Tiara Howlett, floors were also replaced.
