No quick fix for basement flooding, says Region
DURHAM -- There`s no easy solution to the problem that caused more than a hundred basement floods in August, say Durham Region staff. At least 107 homes were flooded after torrential rains Aug. 11 caused the sewer system to back up. The damaged homes were mainly located on three streets, Lawrie Road in Ajax and Annes Street and Walton Boulevard in Whitby. Several homes were flooded in Oshawa as well, but there wasn`t a concentration of flooded homes as there was in the other municipalities.
