Cape Girardeau Public Works reassures floodwall protection in great shape
Looking back to Cape Girardeau flooding in 2016 By Mike Mohundro | January 5, 2021 at 5:05 PM CST - Updated January 5 at 6:30 PM
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) - Five years ago was an unprecedented event for Cape Girardeau as the New Year in 2016 brought with it the highest floodwaters, surpassing the flood of 1993.
Cape Girardeau Public Works personnel were very busy manning the stations and keeping everything maintained.
Now that five years have passed, there has been some work completed involving the Merriwether pump station but overall, things went well during the flood that much hasn’t changed.
