Water from the Wachter drainage ditch on South Washington Street has been pumped to provide storage for runoff.
The storm water gate on South Washington Street was closed on Thursday and eight large flood pumps have been pumping the water from the drainage ditch since then. The ditch has been pumped down to provide storage for runoff to the storm sewer system.
The level in the ditch and the weather are being monitored closely. The pumps will remain in place and will be run as needed.
Washington Street remains closed at Wachter Avenue. Billings Drive and Munich Drive are also closed.
