A homeowner in Concord says runoff from a fairly new subdivision is causing major flooding in her yard.
Jaylene Moss says she was there first and she didn’t have any flooding problems until the Hunton Forest neighborhood was built a few years ago.

“This was going to be my final home,” she told Action 9 investigator Jason Stoogenke. “This is where I want to spend the rest of my life. Feeding the deer, hanging out.”
But Moss says when it rains, water from Hunton Forest runs down into her yard and it looks like a river running through it.
“I pay taxes just like everybody else,” she said. “This is my home … I don’t want to leave. I want it fixed.”
She says it washed away parts of her fence and overpowered pipes under her yard, causing a big hole.
“I worked my whole life to get this house for my family and the fact that they were able to do this, it’s just gut-wrenching,” she said.
She’s suing the city of Concord and a handful of companies allegedly tied to the Hunton Forest project.
