Jurupa Valley residents are calling for city action regarding the maintenance of a large concrete ditch that has become a source of concern for homeowners. During the recent City Council meeting on June 26, 2025, a resident expressed frustration over the lack of assistance from their council member, Mr. Carmona, in resolving the issue.
The resident highlighted that the ditch, which lies outside their property lines, remains unkempt despite their efforts to clean their section. They emphasized that without the city taking responsibility for the entire area, individual efforts are ineffective. In response to the ongoing maintenance concerns, a petition from residents adjacent to the ditch was submitted to Mr. Butler, urging the city to assume responsibility for its upkeep.
This discussion underscores the community's desire for improved city services and maintenance, reflecting a broader need for local government engagement in addressing residents' concerns. The outcome of the petition and the city's response will be crucial in determining the future maintenance of the ditch and the overall satisfaction of the affected residents.
