Diane Goglas was in court on Wednesday. She is accused of pouring concrete down a drainage pipe behind her home.
But the clogged pipe now leads to flooding every time it rains.
Last week, Goggles was ordered to remove the blockage by Oct. 1 or face a daily fine of $250, but her HOA wants the work done promptly.
The hearing will continue Thursday at 1:30 p.m.
