Bearden stated <br />the ditch will store a lot of water and there is a catch basin. <br />If the pipe gets full and can't handle the load, it will fill <br />other places. <br />Mayor Johnson stated that with tremendous rain, pressure would <br />build up in catch basins; would there be so much so as to <br />force water down I as opposed to going down Highway 10?
