Why Brockton Heights needs this specifically
Near D.W. Field Park’s wetter ground, extraction crews plan for the possibility that groundwater is contributing to standing water alongside the sewage contamination itself.
Saturated ground near D.W. Field Park can complicate drainage around a home’s foundation, making sewer line or septic issues more likely to surface — or worsen — during heavy rain.
