Nelson dodges deluge

Tuesday afternoon’s downpour surprised the city’s public works staff in that it didn’t cause more trouble.

Tuesday afternoon’s downpour surprised the city’s public works staff in that it didn’t cause more trouble.

“There was a problem on Wasson Street in Rosemont,” says operations director Allen Fillion. “It sounds like a catchbasin was plugged and our afternoon shift went up and cleaned it out.”

A couple of alarms also sounded on a lift station due to high water, but levels quickly went back down without flooding.

“We got away lucky this time,” Fillion says.
