The volunteers that took part in this are amazing. But to me, this is a total embarrassment that this critical piece of infrastructure needed to be sandbagged by volunteers overnight. For those who don’t know, that pump house drains the old lake area constantly and with the dikes is all that’s stopping the area from becoming a lake under normal (non-flood) circumstances. The flood levels that happened would have been MUCH worse if this pump house had gone under.
