BAY VILLAGE, Ohio — Many Bay Village residents are demanding answers after dealing with repeated storm damage and flooding to their homes this summer.
Tonight, residents will have an opportunity to voice their concerns and ask questions to city leaders.
At 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, the Public Improvements Streets/Sewers/Drainage Committee will host a public meeting at Bay Village City Hall.
According to the meeting's agenda, officials will discuss the following:
- Review of Storm and Sanitary Sewer System
- Maintenance Program
- Upcoming Projects
- Committee Questions and Comments
- Audience
Any residents who cannot be at the meeting, but still wish to ask questions can email them in advance to jkemper@cityofbayvillage.com or join the meeting via Zoom.
In July, 3News' Neil Fischer spoke with residents as they cleaned up the damage left by severe storms in Northeast Ohio.
Many residents told 3News that this was the third time their homes had been flooded in three weeks. Residents allege that the flooding isn't from the storm, but from how the city handles the water during the aftermath.
“It’s 100% not from the storm dropping precipitation at a time,” said Chris Tarr. “It’s the city's inability to deal with the water that does get dropped by the storm.”
However, residents say that the city told them the flooding wasn't their problem, but rather the homeowners' issue.
