$4 million in damage caused by flash flooding in Dubuque
August 2, 2011
A storm complex last week dropped an
unfathomable foot of rainfall in 12 hours on Dubuque and surrounding areas, causing severe damage -- including an estimated
$1.5 million in damage to Dubuque's wastewater treatment plant, along with another $2.5 million in estimated damage to the rest of the local infrastructure.
Sewers overflowed, and the
epic rainfall totals caused damage throughout the community. The Governor has
signed a disaster declaration for the community, making some residents eligible for state aid to replace damaged and lost items.
