According to a story produced by Newstalk 1010 the City’s Water Department is worried about the heavy rainfall predicted for this weekend. Starting tonight and all through tomorrow, the Weather Channel is suggesting there might be as much as 40 mm on the ground. The General Manager of the Water Department, Lou Di Gironimo , told Newstalk 1010 that if the rain comes all at once, the City could be in trouble. He says the infrastructure just isn’t designed to handle that much rain in a short period of time. It doesn’t help that parts of the city saw record-setting rainfall on Tuesday. With the ground already saturated, there may be nowhere for this weekend’s rain to go. There are supposed to 32 spots where the City that traditionally has flooding. One would certainly be the Bayview Extension at Pottery road. But the Water Department says there are other spots around Leaside. Previously, there has been flooding on Moore Ave where it meets Southvale Rd. The scene above is from Southvale at Astor Ave on June 1, 2012.
