Frequently asked questions
The floor drain runs backwards. Which way is the water coming from?
Whichever side is high. These 1957 cellars tie into a system that reverses when either the strait or the freshwater river is up, so the drain becomes an inlet from one direction or the other. Establishing which one decides the scope.
The cloudburst ended and the water still has nowhere to go. Why?
The tide holds the outfalls. When the Kill is up, June rain cannot leave this industrial grid, and with almost no permeable ground every drop becomes runoff the moment it lands. The storm is long over before the drainage restarts.
We are nowhere near the waterfront and we still flooded. How?
From the freshwater side. The same storm raises the Rahway, which backs up into the inland streets, so a lot well away from the strait takes water regardless. Which body is responsible depends on where in the city you stand.
