Bay Sewers Withstand Flash Flood
No basement backups reported Monday, and fingers are crossed as storms are expected to continue through Wednesday.
Whitefish Bay seemingly came out of Monday’s flash flood without any sewer backups or significant road closures.
Assistant Village Manager Matt Schuenke said there were no reports of sewer backups Monday, despite about 2.5 inches of rain coming down within about one hour in the morning.
Schuenke said Village Engineer Dan Naze has likened Monday’s flash flood to a five-year flood.
