That's a lot of rain
August 28, 2009

According to the National Weather Service, much of central and southeastern Iowa got three inches or more of rain yesterday, including some isolated areas of 6" reports. Any intense period of rainfall like that will place a burden on a number of systems, including stormwater sewers and municipal wastewater systems that have to deal with inflow and infiltration. Moreover, that kind of intense rainfall undoubtedly has a lot of people wondering about their sump pumps and perhaps considering the value of battery-backup sump pumps that can help keep basements dry when the power goes out due to storm damage.
