Patrick,
Thank you for emailing me.
You correctly point out that the flooding problems in Bloomingdale are well documented. With this understanding, my staff and I have been working diligently with DC Water, DPW, and other agencies to ensure that they are developing a strategy to properly assess the problem and to implement a plan to provide residents with relief.
I have communicated with DC Water and DPW this morning in light of today's forecast. I have been ensured that resources are being deployed.

Subject: Immediately Address the Flooding in Bloomingdale
I am a resident of Bloomingdale and writing to urge you to act immediately to address the extremely serious flooding issues plaguing the Bloomingdale neighborhood. These issues have been known for a long time, and there is simply no good excuse for the city to be acting so slowly to resolve them. Not only does the flooding repeatedly damage the property of many individual homeowners and businesses, it threatens a rise in insurance fees, the reduction of the number of businesses willing to locate here and the decline in the neighborhood's overall desirability and revitalization.
I look forward to hearing from you a detailed plan that takes concrete and effective steps to end the flooding within the next several months at most.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
