Dilworth continues flood fight
March 24, 2009
The Dilworth maintenance crew was hard at work last night keeping up with the steady rain. To this point there efforts have been successful in keeping the sanitary system from backing up into residents home.
Maintenance crews have been working hard the last 48 hours making sure that the city systems do not become inundate by the increase in water. The city is asking that all residents make sure their sump pumps are directed outside to the yard or street and not into the sanitary/sewer system.
With more snow and rain expected it is important that residents restrict water usage and keep sump pumps pointed into yards and streets.
Dilworth flood/sandbagging efforts.
The Dilworth Fire Department assisted the flood efforts, working through the evening making sandbags. By 10:00 PM the department and more then a dozen volunteers had bagged several thousand sandbags. The sandbagging efforts will be continued at the old Minnesota DOT shop to the west of the Dilworth Police Department.
