After flash flooding hit parts of Columbiana County, people want answers instead of what they call failed promises from city and township officials.
 
Clarence and his wife Mary Lee Ammon are fed up. For around 35 years they had no problems, but now every time it rains they worry about the water running from a pipe, will flow into their yard and continue to rise until it floods their basement at their home on Midway Lane.
 
The damage was around $35,000 the first time, and from the flooding Saturday, there are thousands of more dollars in losses. 
 
"It came in and split the basement floor again, cracked it all the way across. Now the water is seeping up through the floor again and we're getting water everywhere," Clarence Ammon said.
 
Ammon pointed to a pipe that broke that the city won't fix. He tells 21 News the problems began in 2013 when the pipe burst.
 
Other neighbors in that area who have to deal with the flooding and over $21,000 in losses plus likely another $10,000 in Saturday's flooding, are also upset and want action.
 
"We're just asking you to do what's right. Repair the fixes that need done to evacuate the water from going into our houses. They've promised to to do that, they have not done it," Bob Tagenhorst emphasized.
 
East Liverpool officials say to repair or replace the pipe they must go through private property to do the work, and residents and council members say the city tells them it does not own the pipe that broke.
 
Residents point out someone connected the pipes and tap in's from newer developments in the city and township and it was not them.
 
Residents believe a fix is possible.
 
"If you look ... there isn't too much in the way where they couldn't bring machines in and dig everything up and put a better system in place," Brian Loedding said.
 
Councilman Brian Kerr says this is a health and safety issue.
 
"The septic lines, sanitation lines come up through their basements. Literally there are feces floating everywhere in one, two, three four basements so far as of yesterday. Now these residents have to clean this up and it is a safety concern," Chairman of Utilities Committee Brian Kerr added.
 
The city was awarded a grant from FEMA to try and mitigate the problem. 
 
"The study just got funded. It will take place then go to engineering, then to contract," Councilman Jeff Kreefer said.
 
Kreefer tells 21 News he has done all he can. 
 
But residents want a temporary solution now for a problem they did not create.  
 
On Monday they intend to be at the East Liverpool city council meeting at 6 p.m.
