Roselle will cover as much as half the cost, up to $3,000, of homeowners projects to reduce flooding on their property after rainfall.
Eligible projects can include regrading the yard to direct stormwater away from the house, installing a private storm sewer using gravity or a pump to move water, or installation of a rain garden designed to absorb water.
Trustee Wayne Domke said the Yard Flooding Assistance Program needs to be publicized more to residents and needs more money than the roughly $25,000 budgeted for it.
