After receiving large amounts of rainfall over the summer, several parts of Sullivan experienced flooding, which in turn had members of the city council discussing at their July 27 meeting which areas were in need of repairing ditches and adding culverts.
“There are some places in town that need to be done such as the west end of town. There were lakes in everyone’s yards and there isn’t a culvert out there,” commented commissioner Ken Johnson.
“Scott Street doesn’t drain like it is supposed to. Roane Street and Wagoner Street are both bad and dangerous,” added commissioner Mike Kirk.
