WHEREAS, the Town of Appomattox has experienced a flooding problem resulting in significant property damage near the intersection of Main Street and Lee Street and the potential for a reoccurrence remains;
AND WHEREAS, it is the opinion of this Council that this flooding problem has occurred due to the faulty design of the storm drainage facilities serving this area;
AND WHEREAS, it is also the opinion of this Council that any solution to this problem requires a joint effort on the part of the Town and the Virginia Department of Highways;
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED, that the Appomattox Town Council requests that the Virginia Department of Highways provide the necessary facilities on Main Street to intercept the storm water runoff from Main Street and Lee Street and convey same by new and existing storm sewers to the natural drainage channel on the South side of the Norfolk and Western Railroad tracks. chunkid: 20249 recordid: 1269 page_number: 1
