<\/p>\nJACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. \u2014 Action News Jax is working to get answers for neighbors living along 1st Street North in Jacksonville Beach who say they\u2019ve been frustrated over flooding for months.<\/p>\n
Beth Acheson has lived in her home across the street from the Serena Point condominiums for about 50 years and says, over the last 8-10 months, her street corner has seen more flooding than she cares to handle.<\/p>\n

JAX BEACH FLOOD <\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes things get overlooked, but this is really a safety and a health hazard now,\u201d Acheson said.<\/p>\n
Acheson shared pictures with Action News Jax showing flooding by her street corner caused by storms the First Alert Weather Team tracked along the beaches on Sunday. She believes the storm drains are backing up to the point of flooding the street.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve got people here, the water is backing into their properties,\u201d Acheson said, \u201cthere could be lawsuits.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is the second time Action News Jax has told you about drainage issues on 1st Street in the last few months. We told you back in May when neighbors living around 1st Street South were still waiting on a project to be finished that\u2019s meant to improve drainage issues in the area.<\/p>\n
>>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <\/b><\/a>of<\/p>\n But Acheson believes the drainage issues near her home may have been caused by a non-city project, the 10-mile beach renourishment project through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers last year.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s nowhere for the water to go now,\u201d Acheson told us, after taking us to the storm drain on the beach where water collected from the street is supposed to go.<\/p>\n Acheson and some of her other neighbors think new dunes from the project may have blocked water from being able to get through the drains and into the ocean from the beach.<\/p>\n \u201cWe shouldn\u2019t have all this flooding in the neighborhood,\u201d said a woman living in the Serena Point condominiums, who didn\u2019t want to share her name with Action News Jax.<\/p>\n She did, however, share more pictures of what the flooded street looked like after rain on Sunday. She told Action News Jax she\u2019d contacted the city about the issue last week.<\/p>\n We reached out to Sandy Golding, the councilwoman representing this area of the beach. She told us she\u2019s aware of the issue and that the city\u2019s public works department is assessing the<\/p>\n problem. When we reached out to the city\u2019s public works department, our number was taken down and passed to the department\u2019s director.<\/p>\n We\u2019re still waiting to hear from the city how long a fix may take and what exactly it may look like.<\/p>\n [DOWNLOAD: <\/b>Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks<\/b><\/a>]<\/b><\/p>\n [SIGN UP: <\/b>Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter<\/b><\/a>] <\/b><\/p>\n Click here<\/b><\/a> to download the free Action News Jax news and weather apps, <\/b>click here<\/b><\/a> to download the Action News Jax Now app for your smart TV and <\/b>click here<\/b><\/a> to stream Action News Jax live.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. \u2014 Action News Jax is working to get answers for neighbors living along 1st Street…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":65556,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5136],"tags":[12189,5229,12883,13823,46588,46583,46586,3188,723,46582,46580,12869,7310,425,46585,46581,46584,67,586,132,5230,68,46587,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-65555","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-jacksonville","8":"tag-action_news","9":"tag-america","10":"tag-beach","11":"tag-chandler","12":"tag-fin_carlin","13":"tag-finn","14":"tag-first_street","15":"tag-fl","16":"tag-florida","17":"tag-jack_finn_carlin","18":"tag-jacks","19":"tag-jacks_beach","20":"tag-jacksonville","21":"tag-local","22":"tag-north_4th_street","23":"tag-north_first_street","24":"tag-serena_point","25":"tag-united-states","26":"tag-united-states-of-america","27":"tag-unitedstates","28":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","29":"tag-us","30":"tag-us_army_corps_of_engineers","31":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114853042553192460","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65555"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65555\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65556"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IGIS5TYHWVDKZAICFL2M3PQN5U.JPG\")
