Flood Prevention Plans Underway At The Streams
Bridgeport and Fairfield face flood risks similar in character to recent Vermont River Valley floods. City Engineer James A. McElroy notes that local streams are too small to cause former damage but rising runoff from paved streets increases peak flows. Bridgeport budgets about 350,000 for a major project while Fairfield plans similar spend. Rooster River and Ox Creek flood histories drive preventive steps as watersheds run toward the Mec. McElroy cites urbanization and pavement as key factors altering drainage and urging improved outlets and mitigations.
