The numbers are pretty staggering.
More than 350 South Milwaukee homes, and counting, suffered flood damage as part of last week’s storms, according to the most recent tally from the city clerk’s office.
I say “and counting” because I’m certain there are residents who have not reported their flood damage to the city yet. I ask that you do so ASAP by calling 762-2222. Please be specific in explaining what happened.
Also, please report all damage to the county at 2-1-1 or via this online form.
Here are a few other notes from today’s flood update from the city:
- FEMA was in South Milwaukee on Friday assessing damage.
- The Street Department has reported picking up nearly 49 tons of flood-damaged debris July 26-29. If you still need a special pickup, please call the Street Department at 768-8075.
- Flood cleanup kits are also available at the Health Department and Fire Department.
- Repair work has begun on the 200 block of Hawthorne Avenue. The Common Council on Tuesday night approved emergency funding for repair of the street, which was damaged by flood waters pouring off the Grant Park Golf Course.
