Neighbor put up a cement retaining wall between his property and mine so the run-off will just go out into the street which will make everyone here happy when that freezes over. It's already bad enough with just the snow there and then it will be ice on top of that. Not good planning at all.

@SilleeMee     Does your municipality require BUILDING PERMITS for stuff like that?     He could be in deep doo doo for causing run-off into a city street....

 

We don't even have storm sewers where I live....

 

 

@Desertdi 

Yes permits are required for pouring cement here. He'll pay extra stormwater fees on his utilities bill b/c of the impermeable surface he's created on his property. That's how it works. Build it first and then take care of drainage problems after that. Backwards thinking and an ecological problem down stream. Groundwater depletion. I could go on. There are solutions but no one listens.
