City says it is prepared for spring flooding
As rain pounded City Hall on March 22, city officials inside the building said they are prepared should the Mississippi River or one of the creeks in Minneapolis flood.
Lisa Cerney, the city’s director of surface water and sewers, told the Transportation and Public Works Committee that the city had filled 53,000 sandbags that they would give to homeowners should waters creep into their property. Residents are responsible for placing the bags.
