City Officals Want to Hear From Flood Victims

After the amount of flooding in the city associated with Tropical Storm Danny city officials want to hear from everyone affected.

Municipal Operations Commissioner Paul Groody says the city needs to hear from businesses and residents affected by the flooding to help try and find a solution.
He says the citys stormwater diversion systems are not set up to handle the amount of rain it had dropped on it.
Groody says the reality of the situation is there are not answers to all flooding situations, but there have been consultants hired to try and alleviate flooding in hot zones.
He says the citys future capital projects will begin to see an emphasis on stormwater diversion projects.
