The Brief
- Stormwater flowing from Weiberg Road drains into Lupe Jaramillo’s ranch in the town of Dundee.
- In 2021, an old, blocked pipe caused flooding on the north side of Weiberg Road, which is why Polk County replaced it so now the water flows where it always has, which just so happens to be Jaramillo’s property.
