Following water leak concerns, water turned off at neighbor's house

UPDATE The water has been turned off at a home with a water leak. The neighbor had contacted 2 On Your Side when she noticed the water puddling and leaking down the sidewalk.

BATON ROUGE - A homeowner in Forest Heights called 2 On Your Side after waking up to find water flowing down her sidewalk, driveway, and into the street. 

Drena Webb says it's not the first time it's happened during a dry time of year.

"Nope, no rain."

Webb lives on Glen Oaks Drive in Baton Rouge. She has no idea where the water is coming from but suspects it's next door. The last time Webb saw someone at the property was last week when a crew cut the grass. Monday morning she noticed the water leak.

In 2022, Webb contacted 2 On Your Side about a similar situation, but says the leak was addressed. On Tuesday, there was no obvious source of the water other than it pooling in her neighbor's yard and running down the driveway. A look at the meter shows it's spinning.

The water is in Webb's yard and around her foundation. Unable to get in touch with the property owner, she's not sure what to do.

"It's just water everywhere and it's all settling in front of my door," she said.

Baton Rouge Water says they have a service request for the address. If they determine the leak is on the customer's side there isn't much they can do other than try to contact the property owner.
