Trustees praise public works after heavy rain, report sewer jetting and ongoing Pye-area project
Summary
Trustee Ralph reported significant flooding in District 6 during a recent heavy rain event, thanked public works for emergency response including sewer jetting, and said a multi-block construction project at Pye is underway to reduce future flooding.
Trustee Ralph (District 6) told the Jan. 13 board meeting that a recent heavy rain event caused extensive street flooding and some houses to take in water in his district. He credited the village’s public works crews for rapid response and described ongoing efforts to clear and jet sewers.
"The massive rain event we had, last week again, caused the havoc in District 6," Ralph said, noting streets including Fairfax were underwater and crews have been jetting sewers and beginning construction on a project at Pye to address recurring drainage problems. He asked residents for patience while the multi-block project proceeds.
Trustee Alex (District 2) also commended public works for handling water-main breaks and winter conditions. The board recorded no formal votes tied to the storm report; the comments were part of trustee district reports and informational in nature.
The board’s comments indicate active maintenance and a capital project intended to mitigate similar flooding in future storms.
