Dike credited for limiting flood damage in Hillside area
The town escaped five days of rain with minimal flooding thanks to the Conant Street dike built by volunteers. Public Works credits preventative maintenance for keeping sewers clean and says without the dike an overflow could have reached 13 feet. The fire department responded to flooded cellars on Bloy and Baker Streets, but the structures were already drained.
