In a recent government meeting, discussions centered on ongoing flooding issues affecting several properties on Euste Road and Hickory Lane. Residents expressed concerns about the persistent flooding, particularly following significant storms in October and December of the previous year. One resident recounted a conversation with Brian Kovrig from Duchess Water Conservation, who provided insights into the local water management situation.

Kovrig conducted an informal assessment of the area, speaking with neighbors and evaluating the flooding concerns. He indicated that the resident's yard work did not contribute to the flooding problems, a point he is willing to formally communicate to the town if requested. The resident emphasized the need for a comprehensive evaluation by the town to address the flooding issues, which have been exacerbated by climate change and increased rainfall.

The resident also referenced federal data from NOAA, highlighting a pattern of severe storms impacting the area since mid-2022. This data supports the assertion that the flooding is a broader environmental issue rather than a result of individual property modifications. The meeting underscored the urgency for town officials to consider a formal assessment to better understand and mitigate the flooding challenges faced by the community.
