'We've had issues with flooding in our alleys. Our alleys are not paved. Our taxes continue to go up.'
Places like Dolton and Calumet City saw waters rise up to nine inches in a matter of hours.
The damage due to flooding is widespread, specifically along Clyde Avenue. There's been everything from ravaged basements to urgent hazmat situations where sewage backed up into homes. Some homeowners were in the middle of renovations when they were hit with what is now a double whammy. City officials are reminding homeowners that this is all a process and will take some time and they are asking for patience. They are waiting to get a disaster declaration made on the state level in order to start getting help from FEMA."The city really wants their information so if you contact the city so we could have those addresses and have that information, the city wants to respond and give them the information they need," said Calumet City Senior Program Manager.
