Between the rain and the millions of gallons of water being pumped by the DEP through the leaky Delaware Aqueduct underground, the sump pumps of Wawarsing are working overtime. Adam Bosch of the Times Herald-Record reports today:
Homeowners said floods are at their worst when the DEP pumps huge amounts of water into the tunnel at the same time heavy rain is falling. That was the case Thursday. Meteorologists were predicting at least 2 inches of rain, and New York City was pushing some 825 million gallons per day into the leaking tunnel.
Julianne Lennon said the water seeped into her basement Monday just as quickly as two pumps shot it into the street. She invited DEP officials to see decades-old problem for themselves, but none had responded.
