Kendal resident Dan Larocque, of Monck Street, is unhappy with the amount of run-off that is threatening threatening his home this spring. He is hoping Clarington Public Works Director Walter Evans can come up with a solution to his and surrounding neighbors' spring-time problem. The water in which he is standing standing was about one foot deep on Wednesday afternoon, March 23. Larocque told The Independent that on Tuesday, the water had been two feet deep in places. Solutions to Kendal Flooding Problems Studied From page 1 towards the Kendal resident's garage garage attached to his home. Larocque was lucky. However, his neighbor, Dan Doyle, wasn't. His home sprung a leak around the base of his chimney. The water flowing in a north-east direction was coming from a field west of Church St., across the-street. It flowed through a number of back yards, culminating in a creek heading heading towards culverts at the south east comer of Larocque's property. The comer of his property borders borders Monck Street and Regional Road 18. At the comer, water rushing into the culvert from the north is backing up water already in the ditch from the western portion of the street. Consequently the ditch is flooded and so is most of Larocque's front lawn. If not for a berm built last year by Larocque, his house would probably probably be more in danger of flooding than it is now. Evans told The Independent the homes constructed in what had been a field are built too low. "The houses are about three feet too low" and that causes drainage problems, he noted as we drove to Larocque's home earlier. While the flood has already occurred, occurred, the results of the flood are what the. Public Works Department has to work with now. At the beginning of the tour around Kendal, Evans said he was thinking about a solution which would have put a service-hole at the comer of the property. Then, the water would be pumped across the road to the other ditch. This would reduce the load on the ditch. Doyle said Clarington Public Works should build what he called a "French culvert" down through the properties to collect the water. Along with a ditch draining into the culvert at Monck and Regional Road 18, he thought this would take care of the problem. In fact, Doyle insisted it would. Evans was less certain. Another solution that was kicked about was to set up a storm sewer system from Monck Street, south along the regional road, to the southernmost southernmost tip of the village. Figures up to and including, $500,000 were bandied about by both Evans and the residents regarding regarding upgrading the almost nonexistent nonexistent ditch system to a storm sewer system. A walking tour through the village village showed that in front of most of the homes there are no ditches to contain water from any run-off. The water simply sits and saturates saturates the ground. What is left sits on the ground and pools build up. Another idea presented to Evans was to build a culvert and set a pipe below the road. The water would then exit into the field across the road. After speaking with Larocque and Doyle, Evans met with George Mercer on Mill Street in Kendal. Mercer suggested another solution solution which would take the water eastward, to a stream at the back of the comer property on the east side of the regional road. This "common sense idea," as Evans called it later, was something he thought he would look at further. As we left, Evans noted it was a good idea to have talked with a long-time resident, because "these guys know more about the area than new residents." Evans explained if the plans can be done now for a project, the municipality municipality might be able to pick up some extra money through the federal/provincial federal/provincial infrastructure program. program. Such money might be available available if other communities can't take advantage of the money offered through the program. "I'll take a hard look at using this as a stand-by project," said Evans.
