Some Falcon residents are seeing first hand the destructive nature of water. The Saturday afternoon storms sent a river of water down Pinto Pony Road, that took out a few feet of the road. The road became impassible so residents had to build a dirt wall to direct a river of water away from their homes.

Looking at the river flowing through Frank Burns' land you'd think it had always been there.

"We used to be able to drive that entire five acres," Burns says.

Burns tells 11 News this water all came about after a housing development was constructed about ten years ago.

"When you take a pasture and turn it into a road, the water has no place to go. Their answer is to give it to us, well we don't want it," Burns says.

Because that water only causes damage.

"I'm sick of it."

And Saturday afternoon, the water overflowed the new creek bed and threatened homes.

"We had water coming down driveways and headed towards front doors," Burns says.

County Commissioner Amy Lathen came out in the rain to see the problem. Homeowners hoping that she'll have an answer.

"We've got to fix the problem so we don't lose homes and we don't have water damage in homes," Lathen said.

Frank Burns just wants his land back the way it was, without the water.

"Give it to someone else, I don't want it."

Burns says he has spent thousands of dollars to build a bridge and make sure the water doesn't do any more damage to his property, but with all of the rain lately, things are just getting worse and worse.

A detention pond was built after the housing development in an effort to capture the extra water, but residents say, the pond is obviously not working.
