| Know when the water is there like that, it's usually anywhere from 50 to 100 yards, it’s pretty severe.
Mr. Boucher
Well let me look at that and | can get back to you to see if there’s something we can do or if that’s an
Engineering issue; | can talk to them.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
OK.
Mayor Donchess
Alright, well thank you very much.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
Thank you.
Mr. Boucher
Thank you.

Mr. Boucher
I'll ask about that because | don’t recall many calls going out there to clean catch basins but that would be the
issue if there were plugged catch basins around there.
Mayor Donchess
Could it be that the pipe isn’t sufficient size to take in the flow?
Mr. Boucher
In a catch basin it can be, but usually just clogged, they are usually sized properly. And | would have to look at
the GIS to see if that ties into a nearby water body or if it goes into the sewer.

Alderman Harriott-Gathright
Actually for Mr. Boucher. Are you familiar with Northeastern Boulevard where we get that water, like it can go
half way up our cars at times coming up to almost the window?
Mr. Boucher
No, I’m not familiar with that.
Alderwoman Harriott-Gathright
| am just curious. You were talking about somebody monitors the water and stuff, | was wondering do we
actually monitor water from the rain as well? Or are you just talking about at the site?
