Stanway residents fed up with the repeated flooding could have their problems addressed.
The recent rain has caused chaos, particularly in the Blackberry Road, Holly Road and Church Road areas.
Water has not drained and at times there were fears that homes could have been flooded.
Colin Sykes, parish councillor and leader of Colchester Council, reassured Stanway Parish Council that the borough council had identified the location as somewhere work needed to be carried out.
He said Colchester Council was approaching Essex County Council for funding.
Mr Sykes said while he understood funding was being applied for, he could not say when the necessary money might be obtained.
