Home owners in the Flats are able to once again open the isolation valves in their basements. Environmental Utilities general manager Grayson Mauch says the city has come up with a way to bypass the Purmal lift station to give affected residents some sort of normalcy. Mauch says pumps have been brought in to bypass the station and feed directly to the river system.
Mauch added that anyone needing help with the sewer isolation valve or has any questions should call the flood information hotline at 525-8600
