Common Council Meets Tuesday: Water on Agenda

)Ed. note: The following is from the Evansville City Web Site announcing the Common Council meeting on Tuesday night, August 14, 1007)


Water everywhere.....we had a total of 9.3 inches of rain. It was more than the design capacity of our stormwater ponds. There were some other contributing factors, but the amount of water in a short period of time was the primary cause of localized flooding. The City Council will be discussing the events of the last couple days, concerns and complaints of residents, the design of existing stormwater systems, and early ideas for potential improvements. The meeting is at 6:30 pm, Tuesday, August 14, at City Hall. Residents from the neighborhoods most effected by localized flooding and the general public are encouraged to attend.
