This Mt. Juliet neighbor has battled flooding for decades, and significant help is at least a year away

A Belinda City neighborhood in Mt. Juliet has faced chronic flooding for decades due to a concrete-blocked culvert, with full repairs delayed at least a year. Resident Lori Gossett has mitigated water damage with cinder blocks since 2000, when nearby development worsened the issue. City officials acknowledge the blockage cannot be fully removed without compromising the culvert, relying instead on routine drain cleaning.
