Flood water from 241 drains through side yard between 247 on to Greendale and the catch basin in front of 258 can’t is flooded over into street.

I read the Department of Public works response from the Select Boards meeting on Tuesday 8/15/2023. It was reported by Director Carys Lustig that this was a “1000 year event”. For us this situation is a one week event!
Here are two photo of our backyard from July 29th!
As of today 8/18/2023, No one from the Town has reached out in regards to these posts. I’m sure this will go on deaf ears, as it has for the last 40 years.

The storm flooding that occurred on 8/8/23 was due to the short duration very intense rain storm and caused flooding in numerous areas throughout town. These types of storms far exceed the capacity of the town's brooks/streams and storm drain system in various areas along with their tributaries and outfalls.
Thank you for reaching out.
