Currently, municipal teams are on the ground to evacuate the water. “We closed the street between Petit-Roeulx and Steenkerque, leaving from Braine-le-Comte. For the rest, it’s localized.” Houses were affected by the downpours on Avenue du Stade,”where work is in progress to create a Temporary Immersion Zone”he adds.
Trickle-down effects are common. “As the fields have been worked, furrows have been made which accelerate the transit of water and as it rains continuously, it does not enter the soil.” And added: “The teams work in the field. A water jetter will come and pump the water where it is stagnating, but the situation is under control. What is important is to watch the water's path to understand what is happening and influence the flow. There is a strategic area, the Bosse roundabout where there is a temporary immersion zone under construction.” This point which is in fact affected by the showers currently. “This allows us to feed into ongoing studies and rectify the situation subsequently.”
The mayor recalls the importance of calling the number 1722 in this context.
