Beiseker is built in a slight hollow which means we have a very shallow slope from one side of town to the other. During heavy rains or a large melt, water has trouble exiting the village fast enough. At times we also get swamped with water coming from the north into the village. I intend to work on long term solutions to this water problem. I will do everything in my power to make flooded basements in Beiseker a distant memory!
During this past term, Beiseker Village Council enacted legislation that prohibits the dumping of rain or runoff water into the sanitary sewer lines. This water should be directed onto the surface and allowed to exit the village on the surface. If placed into the sanitary sewer line it will overwhelm the force main pumps designed to pump only effluent.
I will continue to work to make sure these two systems are operating correctly, separately and efficiently!
