Council asks engineers to study drainage at First & Madison and North Main

Councilmembers flagged two drainage problem areas: persistent water pooling at First and Madison Streets that fails to drain to the storm sewer during heavy rain, and drainage concerns along North Main Street near the new bus barn and St. John’s Lutheran Church. The council directed the city engineer to take elevation shots at each location and evaluate options to improve flow toward the storm sewer and, where appropriate, toward the Community Center.
