The City of Oglesby is working with Chamlin and Associates to develop a plan to fix drainage issues on Heritage Ave. Mayor Dominic Rivara says that he’s gotten complaints and letters from the condo association in the neighborhood.
He says a homeowner had to use three sub pumps to keep her basement from flooding.
Commissioner Jason Curran voted to authorize the plan but says he wants to make sure that funding for fixing the issue could be talked about separately. He’s also wondering why previous administrations haven’t take action because it’s been a problem in the past.
Rivara says after the city built McPhedran Lake near the condos it was suppose to fix the issue, but it apparently hasn’t.
