Hackensack Country Club working with Emerson to address backyard flooding, borough says
Summary
Borough staff said Hackensack Country Club is collaborating with Emerson, the DPW and the borough engineer on a localized flooding problem that has affected some backyards; engineers have inspected the site and a solution is being developed, pending future rainfall tests.
Mr. Hermanson told the governing body that a resident reported backyard flooding and that Hackensack Country Club (the local golf course) agreed to work with the borough and its Department of Public Works to identify and implement a solution. He said the borough engineer inspected the site and that the work is an improvement on prior engineered drainage measures rather than a wholly new project.
Mr. Hermanson cautioned that the success of repairs will be verified when it next rains; the engineer feels confident about the proposed approach but the borough will monitor results after implementation. Council members thanked the golf club for collaborating with the borough.
No formal contract or budget action was taken at the meeting; staff will continue to coordinate with the club and DPW and report back if further approvals are required.
