UPDATE: Parts of Bloomingdale 'On the Verge' of Flooding

Bloomingdale DPW superintendent said if the borough gets more rain Wednesday, flooding is likely.

 

If the Borough of Bloomingdale gets any more rain Wednesday, it is likely the Pequannock River that runs along Main Street will flood the roadway for the second time in the past several weeks, according to Department of Public Works Superintendent Al Gallagher.

"If we get any more rain today, it's definitely going to come over," he said.

Gallagher said as of 6:40 a.m. several borough roads that typically flood are "on the verge" of flooding but have not yet flooded.

"We're just waiting to see how much [rain] we get," he said Tuesday morning.

Main Street, and several other borough roads, were closed after flooding from Hurricane Irene last week.

Patch will have updates on this story.

It would be the first time this month. Irene flooded Main Street in August.
