ST. CLAIR SHORES How much water a property retains and how much runs off into the storm sewers could be calculated for each parcel in St. Clair Shores, under a new proposal put forward to pay for the infrastructure that prevents flooding in the city.
“Every day it rains, the city of St. Clair Shores has a robust infrastructure to maintain and really stop flooding. You have a lot of mechanical means to keep basements dry, (keep) streets from flooding,” said James Burton, a vice president at Hubbell, Roth and Clark, the city’s engineering firm.
