Crossett Brook Middle School was flooded in July when the Crossett Brook jumped its banks, engulfing the telecommunications junction boxes near the power transformer. The conduits in those boxes went directly into the school, and the water flooded three classrooms.
We met with Jaron Borg, State of Vermont Rivers Engineer, to assess the conditions and develop a plan. At that time we adopted a wait and see approach. We were hoping the river would cut another channel and remain away from the infrastructure. However, during a high rain event this fall, the stream once again encroached on the infrastructure. At that time, we developed a plan to mitigate any future flooding.
