19th Ward Chicago: Flood Meetings

Tuesday, August 9, 2011

Flood Meetings

Below is an email sent throughout the neighborhood, by Alderman O'Shea. Please attend one of these meetings and get the facts.

In the past two years, our community has suffered through several intense rain storms. These storms bring record setting volumes of rain in a short period of time creating severe flooding problems for thousands of residents. Over the past several weeks the Department of Water Management and National Power Rodding have been working throughout the Beverly, Morgan Park, and Mount Greenwood communities cleaning, rodding, and inspecting several miles of sewer lines.

The Chicago Department of Water Management, Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, and Alderman Matt O'Shea will co-host two community meetings on storm water management. These meetings will give homeowners the opportunity to discuss their specific issues with the engineers and learn what steps can be taken to reduce the risk of flooding.

As flooding conditions vary throughout the ward, residents are asked to attend the meeting specifically for their area.

Kathy Meaney is a member of the Water Reclamation District Board. We should be asking her. She will have the answers.

This blog is about

This blog is non-monetized and uses photos and materials from other sources. It is in compliance with Fair Use Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Code. Music, videos and mugshots are for entertainment and disincentive purposes only. Any similarities or resemblances to people or pets, living, dead or imprisoned is just your imagination. Some stories are true, some are fictional while some of the stories are funny.

The theme of this blog has changed. We are now headed into a period of extreme political and economic troubles. We want to increase everyone's awareness and show them how to weather the storm. We are going to begin including articles and videos on prepping (food, water, shelter, medicine, self-defense,) basic economics and general SHTF lifestyle changes.

I am not going to be critical of 19th ward politicians. They tend to do the best job they can with very limited resources, and don't need to be beaten up. In fact, people should be helping them as they are among the last "normal" leaders in Illinois.

I am keeping the 19th Ward Chicago name because of the rich blog history going back to 2010 and because there is a ready-made base of similar-thinking readers. For now on, the 19th Ward of Chicago will be mainly a point of reference, an observation deck if you will. A place where allot of good-natured, normal-thinking people still live and can safely view the dysfunction overtaking America. Write whatever you want about whatever or whomever you want. Just keep it true and not vulgar.

At all times, we am going to comply with Blogspot's community standards. We have seen what happens when there is not such compliance.

We will never publish threats of physical violence or baseless attacks on people or institutions.
