Common Council has received a report from the acting city manager on the recent flooding. Andrew Beckett says residents need to realize any progress on preventing the problem is going to be costly and will take some time. Councillor Chris Titus says talk is cheap when it comes to someone knee high in water.
In the report it states considerable work needs to be done on storm and sanitary sewer systems, as well as within residents' homes, as the number of heavy rainfalls seems to be increasing.
