“Another pipe would take some of the flow away from the existing pipe that’s there – there would be two pipes instead of one,” said Coun. Scott.
The Town is working towards constructing a new sewage treatment plant, which Coun. Scott said would rectify any problems in the long-term. As a short-term measure, he said the Town will wait for Bae-Newplan’s recommendation.
In the meantime, he said the Town will continue to monitor the system to anticipate any excessive flow to prevent further flooding in the areas hit last summer.
Last August saw water come up through the floor drains of homes on Peterson Drive, Edinburgh Avenue, Pinedo Road, Yeager Street, Bennett Drive, Hornell Street, Raynham Avenue and Medcalf Street as a result of the tropical storms.
