Storm Drain Repairs May Be Only Temporary
Old Orchard Beach Town Council voted 700 for repairs to the Atlantic Avenue storm drain following a break caused by the weight of a sewer line. Councillors warn this may be temporary and urge engineers to plan permanent fixes. A Heath Street drainage issue was discussed and a local surveyor may check the 18 inch line’s elevation to Boston and Maine tracks. If fall is adequate, a bucket machine could clear the line while engineers advise. If flooding continues, a full engineering survey may be required.
