Following up on my earlier e-mail (below) the projected flooding for DPW in 2050 and 2080 suggests that some remedial action taken over the next several decades might be a good idea. For a few locations, remedial action now or soon might be in order.

1. I tend to doubt that the City will raise the level of the streets in front of our houses.

2. The life of the City sewer system is measured in decades (I think that the City calculates a 105 year life for the pipes) and, as the existing system ages out,  the City might be successfully lobbied to increase the capacity of the storm sewers and catch basins in the area to reduce back-ups into the street and our cellars; however, that will take constant, annual pressure on our City Council members as well as NYCDEP and the Mayor's office.

3. Individually, we can combat flooding on our own properties by constructing dry wells down to the water table, to conduct surface water (rainfall) away from our houses and into natural, on-site water detention.

4. The installation of individual reverse flow valves to prevent sewer back-ups into our cellars is controversial and should be discussed case by case with your plumber.

In the light of recent flash flooding in the Bronx (not to mention St. Louis and eastern Kentucky) flooding from rain should be taken seriously.
