To whom it may concern:

My name is Jerome Lesperance and I live in the Devonshire heights community on Lappan avenue since 1993. Over the past 27 years , though we have been fortunate to not have flooded , we have witnessed many neighbors and neighborhood homes flood . Sometimes the same families have experienced flooding more than once and some times up to 3 flooding.

It's not just the homes that are flooding but the streets as well , such as Byng, Bliss and Turner roads . Others areas such as Fuller crescent etc , they also flood. The sewer system in this area is not just antiquated it is also get overwhelmed with each and every major rain fall. Part of the problem lies in fact that our community is being over developed without proper sewer system upgrades.

Our community needs immediate attention in this matter , families here cannot afford to wait for the next flooded basement .

Thank you .
