Heavy rains on Sunday led to basement backups in over 160 homes in Hammond, the city said in a statement on Monday.
“I know many residents are frustrated about what happened Sunday and I share their frustration,” Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott Jr. said in the statement. “We will continue to find ways to minimize significant storms on our city. The goal is always to have zero backups and we didn’t achieve that here.”The nearby communities of Dolton, Calumet City, and Burnham in Illinois were also hard-hit by the deluge.
Marty Wieglos, CEO of the Hammond Sanitary District, said that the city’s wastewater plant functioned as intended during the heavy rain.
