Flooding in Dawson Place home means a temporary water shut-off to repair pipe

By Billie Owens

The basement of a home at the end of the street on Dawson Place in Batavia is flooding. According to city fire command on scene, it's already a foot deep and more water is flowing in with no way to stop it. So a city public works crew is going to have to shut down the water supply on the street temporarily to repair a broken pipe. It is said to be an ongoing problem on that street because of the configuration of the pipes. "We'll keep our fingers crossed," says command, hoping that the problem can be resolved quickly.
