Not sure if this is the right place for this thread, but hey...I'll give it a whirl, I'm new here so be kind
My hubby and I just moved to the Beach. So far, it's been great. Except for the VERY wet weather this summer. We have a basement - a short one, but albeit - a basement. Our sump pump has been working overtime! However, I live on a street that appears to flood down at the dead end portion every time it rains. I feel for the people down there - not sure if they have basements, but it can't be nice to come home to a lake in your front yard every rainy day. Hubby keeps joking he's going to take the canoe down there.
So yesterday we come home to a flyer stuffed in our mailbox about a meeting today with an MPP about the flooding issue.
Unfortunately - the meeting is TODAY at 3:30 and I cannot attend. I would have, had I been given more than one days notice. The issue does not affect me directly but it does affect my neighbours and - well - there is power in numbers.
So my question is this - how long has this been an issue? Do people have house damage because of this? I'm in the dark so any info at all would be appreciated.
Thanks!
