Help out Roland!

All residents should have received a letter from the city regarding sewer backups. If you have had any damage, please help us out. We are able to get a mitigation grant, and any damage we can confirm, we can put back in the city to start working on improvements.

The more damage we can confirm, the bigger the grant. Our biggest "wish" would be to install a new sewer trunk line that could basically double our capacity to get sewage to the treatment plant. That would likely be a $500000 project that would only cost us $75000.

That is probably a reach, but we shall see. Otherwise depending on the amount of money we get, we may do smaller projects like lining our sewer pipes to prevent inflow during big rains, which take sewer capacity away from us.

This is not money that will be distributed directly to the citizens, but is fixes for the infrastructure for the town--that hopefully would prevent future problems. If you turn in your form, it will us pinpoint areas of town that are most affected.

If you don't know what you had in your basement, if it was sewer backup, or storm water backup, fill the form out anyway. It will help.

This is a heck of a deal for Roland. I'll say it again, please fill out the form if you have had any issues. Let me know if you have any questions.
