Since 2007, Antonio Iadarola, the city engineer and public works director, has tried to convince the engineers that flooding on Kenosia Avenue and West Street are connected to development damage to the Still River and its flood plain that could be fixed if the federal government would commit its resources. But it wasn’t until Iadarola began collecting field data during storms to compile a comprehensive flood report for the Army Corps in 2021 that federal engineers took notice, and recently committed to a $1 million study. The two-year study, which requires the city to contribute $450,000, will recommend solutions, along with a cost-benefit analysis, that would set the stage for the Army Corps to implement flood control measures. The Army Corps study will focus on three key problem areas that Iadarola’s department believes are responsible for the flooding that has plagued the upper reaches of the Still Water basin.
