First of all, thank you for the question.
I'm going to have to preface this with the fact that I became mayor this past November. I was not involved with the flood reconstruction. I was just an ordinary citizen at the time.
When we do talk about the situation we have with the diking, in two of our areas we still are using temporary military dikes. Had we been allowed to actually go in and repair those to the point where those citizens could feel comfortable now...because the temporary dikes are now being tested for a second straight freshet. We're a little nervous that these are going to be the exit points. It would have been nice to be able to go in right away with our own equipment and build those up to protect the citizens in that area.
