Arlington Dirt Roads Slammed by Flooding Stranding Residents
River Road in West Arlington was washed out in several spots with the worst section between the covered bridge and Hawley Bridge isolating many homes. Red Mountain Road and Old West Road were badly damaged with severed passages and multiple washouts. Town Selectman Henry Breunich said culverts failed to handle the torrent, and relief funding from the last year's hurricane may help, while water officials reported no systemic water damage aside from silting at Red Mountain spring. A resident observed the flooded site of the proposed sewage treatment plant and marked the water height.

Shaftsbury selectmen lower pond level to ease floods
Shaftsbury selectmen voted last night to unplug a culvert under Cleveland Avenue lowering water in the Boy Scout pond recreation area. Residents Millington Borden Ordway and Goffin complained of high basement flooding linked to the pond. Recreation chair Colvin said the plugged culvert worsened conditions but could not confirm swamp flooding links. The board also notified Judson Hagerty of Cranbury about a sky pond dam breach washing out Phoebe Bump Lane road and noted no zoning permit had been issued.
