Riverdale sewers blamed for unusual rainfall flood event
Riverdale officials sought an inspection by Consoer and Townsend after basements flooded during heavy rain. The engineer said the sewer and pumping station worked, but design only handles 1.5 inches of rain every 3 to 4 years, while two inches fell in about two hours. A written report will follow. The board will also review water-logged streets at 41st and 42nd streets and study solutions with Frank Mraz and Trustee Herman Depperman guiding drainage efforts.
