I did get them do dump a bunch of fill in the alley last year and it raised it about 6", so it's not impossible...I'm going to find out what the alley should be graded to, and hopefully get them to re-establish the original grade, as it has lost a lot of material over the years. It's main grade is to the east at probably 12°, and ideally it should be flat, but it also slopes towards my yard which creates a runoff trench.
Yeah I don't think you'll have a big problem getting them to respond to your issue. I complained two years ago about deteriorated asphalt (paved alley) right by my apron that was causing water to pool in front of my garage and they came out within the month to repair.
