(About 75 Rothesay residents crowded into the Town Hall last night to speak about flooding concerns)
A group of Rothesay residents may finally see some action taken to reduce flooding in their area. The town is aiming to hold a public meeting the week of October fifth for residents of Oakville Acres. Homes in the area have been flooding--most recently during post-tropical storm Danny on August 31st. Grace Murphy was forced to leave her home when a stream nearby turned into a raging river.
Mayor Bill Bishop tells CHSJ news not all residents may be satisfied with the solutions being proposed. Two of the possible solutions include open ditches and retaining ponds. An engineers report that was completed months ago will finally be made public on the town's website and the findings presented to residents at the meeting in October.
