Residents on Lyne Street say they have been trying, without success, to get Albury Council to fix issues with the creek for years.

Philip McCabe waded through water, which was above knee-height, on Thursday morning as the creek swelled.

It filled his shed and washed away fencing, plants and other items in his yard.

Multiple sheds yards on the street were inundated.

He has been writing letters to the council since 2006 in a bid to get drainage issues addressed.

Parts of the creek near Urana Road jam with trees and debris during heavy rainfall and Mr McCabe said about 20 homes could be impacted during wet weather when water backed up.

"I've had an ongoing issue with Albury Council coming out to clean it," he said.

"We had a major flood here in 2008.

"Down at the corner of Pearsall Street and Urana Road the council erected this large sign saying they were going to spend all this money.

"After 12 months, they took the sign down and didn't do anything."

Mr McCabe said the bridges near Urana Road didn't have large enough culverts to cope.

"I had a metre of water in my backyard and shed this time," he said.

Mr McCabe said development upstream led to faster water runoff, which couldn't be handled by the creek.

His wife, Diane, said they had lived at the site for 45 years and this was the biggest flood they had seen.

The Border Mail saw oil drums, tyres and other debris in the creek near Pioneer Park on Friday.

A nearby resident, who asked not to be named, lost thousands of dollars worth of tools and other equipment when his shed flooded.

The man, who works as an emergency builder for an insurance company, said he had also been "flat out" dealing with property damage at other homes in the region.

"The damage is everywhere at the moment," he said.

"I've had call outs from the same creek but there's storm damage in other areas, mostly from water coming in through roofs with the massive amount of rain but also from some flash flooding."

Some homes have been left uninhabitable.

Water authorities are releasing nearly six billion litres of water a day from Lake Hume, which was 98 per cent full on Friday evening.

Authorities were criticised in 2016 for failing to manage releases, which led to extensive downstream flooding.
