Surf City to Review High-Tide Flood Solution After Hearing Concerns

While Surf City officials promised to investigate a nuisance flooding solution that once worked but some Ninth Street residents say hasn’t since Superstorm Sandy, Mayor Francis Hodgson cautioned it won’t fix the problem completely.  

“I am not a proponent of pumps,” he said during the Aug. 12 borough council meeting where residents of Ninth Street asked for help. “You can’t pump the water fast enough.”
