While on the CEWF website, you may wish to read their article on the currently high water levels throughout our area. The article also contains information about the recent April and May floodings.

While environmental conditions were somewhat involved in the multiple breachings that occurred on the Gregory Lane in mid-April, the possibility of the existence of multiple causes is being researched.
