Sunday Street Flooding in Albertville Storm Brings Clean Up, Water Watching

After a reported 2-4 inches of rain within two hours Sunday, June 23, Albertville was continuing clean up and water watching efforts.

“This amount rain over such a short duration, coupled by the highly saturated soil conditions, produced flash flooding and resulted in localized street flooding and overtopping of several rear yard sediment ponds,” Albertville City Administrator Adam Nafstad told Patch in an email.

The intersection of Barthel Industrial Drive an 54th Street NE had the “greatest degree” of flooding, according to Nafstad, with about two-feet of weather at the intersection. Three residents near the intersection reported damage to their basement.

“Public Works crews are working to ensure storm sewer inlets and culverts are open and draining, as well as, monitoring water levels of several ponds and ditches throughout the city,” Nafstad said.
