Township to discuss flooding

Residents invited to give input during a meeting this Monday

The Township Committee wants to take a comprehensive look at flooding in Cranbury.

At the 7 p.m. Monday committee meeting in Town Hall, residents are invited to speak about drainage and flooding problems to give the committee an idea of where there are reoccurring water issues, especially on township roadways.

Committeeman Wayne Wittman said the issue was brought to everyone's attention in April when a nor'easter brought 7 inches of rain to the township, flooding roads like Main Street and damaging basements.
