Homeowners in the Hudson neighborhood of Pasco County are expressing frustration over persistent flooding that occurs after storms and routine rainfall. Residents report that standing water lingers for weeks, damaging roads and disrupting essential services like trash collection. Kit Thompson, a resident of Signal Cove, shared video evidence showing water remaining on Tower Drive days after rain fell. He stated he has contacted the county multiple times about the issue but feels no action has been taken despite previous assurances from officials. Jim Decker, president of the neighborhood association, noted that county utility crews frequently work in the area and should be aware of the flooding concerns. Pasco County Public Works initially claimed they had not received inquiries until recently but have since begun investigating after being contacted by a local news outlet. Thompson disputes this statement, citing a phone call from June where an official indicated engineering was already underway to address the drainage problems.
