WELLSVILLE Roy LaFleur doesn’t want to have to worry every time it rains.
The Williams Avenue resident attended Monday night’s Wellsville village board meeting to raise concerns about persistent flooding on his street. The issue reached a tipping point following a late-April storm that dumped 2.5 inches of rain on the village. A creek that cuts down Williams Avenue overflowed during the storm and LaFleur’s property was hit by extensive flooding.
“It’s not like this is a one-time deal,” said LaFleur. “It happens repeatedly. Not every year, but enough. Some years it doesn’t quite get into my house, but the creek will flood. This time it got into my house, my garage had standing water in it, I had mud in my hallway, the carpet was soaked. I’m tired of cleaning up and not see anything get done about it.”

âAll employees and all those visiting town offices are required to wear face masks and I donât care about opinions or objections,â he said. âThe bottom line is weâre doing what we have to do to keep everyone safe.â
