Residents around Eaton Lane have been asked to attend the first meeting, which will be held next week at City Hall.  Director of Public Works/City Engineer Mary Jo Lange and Mayor Tony Day will address those in attendance and then answer questions.

 "The Engineering Department has been investigating possible causes and solutions to the flooding and subsequent sanitary sewer back-ups," Ms. Lange said.  "But we need to know who got flooded, where the water entered and how deep the water got."

Mayor Day says several flood meetings will be scheduled, focusing on one aldermanic district at a time.

 "If your home experienced significant damage and you do not receive a letter in the coming weeks, please contact us at City Hall," the Mayor said.  "The best way to manage this issue is to hear from our citizens."
