Lamont County officials are at wit’s end when it comes to devising a plan to deal with flooding which is ravaging the County.
“All the councillors want to protect their areas,” said Division 1 councillor Dan Warawa. “But we all have the same issues.”
“Everybody’s frustrated with what is happening,” he said. “Our new guy on roads is bogged down because so many of our roads are a mess.”
“They add that the road situation is getting worse,” he said. “On Canada Day and the day before there were some parts of the County that got three inches of rain.”
Warawa said in his Division 1, the situation wasn’t too bad, but that since Canada Day flooding has hit the division.
Lamont declared a state of agricultural disaster in June and Warawa sees no timeline yet where it would be lifted.
“You know I’ve been on council for 15 years and I’ve never seen anything as bad as this,” he said.
