The town of Rothesay is considering a consultants $3 million proposal to fix flooding problems in the neighbourhood of Oakville Acres. CBCL Limited is suggesting the town use a retention pond and an enlarged flood plain to capture rain water that is currently causing problems for area homeowners. Mayor Bill Bishop tells CHSJ news residents at a public meeting held last night seem to be pleased with the proposed solution.
Bishop says they will be looking for funding from the provincial and federal governments and hopes to be begin work in the spring. He says construction would take about four months to complete.
