Letters: A word about flood control
Icon viewers:
Just a comment about cleaning the Little Riley Creek or any other flood control measures. Water has no problem getting into town or through town. The problem is getting water out of town. The bridge on Bentley Road north of town is not capable of allowing water out of town.
The bridge was not constructed properly to let a 50-year flood out of town much less a 100-year flood.
If you notice, water has to go north of the bridge to cross the Bentley. I was told by the regional planning commissioner water should go over the bridge.
