re: drainage problems

reference to article in Woonsocket Call
statement from DPW on pumping station, due to lack of easement
permission was 'not enough', yet it had been using the permission for many years
Mr Carlino head of DPW at the time, records couldn't be found
yet he had been to town meetings where it was discussed

water flooded basement in 1970's
pumped into Tyson Road storm drain for 7 weeks

pictures from 1967 
1971 cellar floor problem

2010 more flooding, picture depicts grandson and friend in a canoe with a fishing rod

recent water problems, lifted the cellar floor 6 inches
in or 2 up to 8" in the cellar
structural engineer came out, safe now foundation is good, mold exists

house should never have built, Town problem, how to resolve
they built the drainage 
new pumps and generator just purchased
