Saturday night’s deluge and flooding caused a number of people to take to social media to rail against the city of Mt. Carmel. At last night’s city council meeting, city clerk Rudy Witsman responded by saying there was very little the city could have done differently to prevent the flooding issues. He said given the limited number of city employees, they simply couldn’t be everywhere at the same. And he took dead aim at the city’s critics saying they should take some responsibility for their own property instead of relying on the government to do it for them…..
Water and sewer commissioner Justin Dulgar said larger cities such as Evansville couldn’t handle the onslaught of rain either and Mt. Carmel was far from isolated in having issues.
