Good Day-
We have experienced more issues this week with water coming up in some basements near the base of the canal. CEG has lowered the canal water levels and now is pumping the water they need from White River South of Rocky Ripple. They are continuing to clear aquatic vegetation south of Rocky Ripple trying to alleviate some of the high-water issues in this area due to the restricted flow. We are continuing to work with CEG as they evaluate the situation and look for a solution.
We strongly recommend that anyone living along Clarendon Road between 51st and 52nd, 52st Street from Clarendon to the canal, Byram Avenue, 53rd Street from Byram to the canal, Canal Blvd, Karstadt Ave, Sunset Ave, 54th Street from Canal to Ripple Road, Ripple Road from Canal to 54th Street to check your basements and crawl spaces for water that you usually do not have. Also if you have excess water standing in your yard that you do not usually have. See attached picture for map of roads.
If you do not live on one of these streets and have friends that do, please forward this to them. Talk to your neighbors and pass on this information.
It is imperative we reach as many people in these areas as possible to see where there may be issues with excess water that appears to be seeping from the canal.
Please send pictures or videos along with your name and address to [email protected] .
