Light flooding hits Cassville

Thursday, May 5, 2022

County Farm Road between 11th and 14th streets was flooded Thursday morning after overnight rains. By 9 a.m., flooded areas of Cassville started to recede, but more rain in the afternoon and again at night may make waters rise again. Kyle Troutman/editor@cassville-democrat.com

Flood waters had receded from 11th Street and County Farm Road by 9 a.m. Thursday, though water was still streaming out of all the manholes on the street. Kyle Troutman/editor@cassville-democrat.com

The worst flooding in Cassville occurred on Sale Barn Road near Designs by Debbie. At 9:30 a.m., that channel was still rushing over the roadway. Kyle Troutman/editor@cassville-democrat.com

Flooding over Sale Barn Road streamed toward the Cassville City Park, but did not break its banks much as it passed the ballfields and Greenway toward Rocky Edmondson Park, where it did flood slightly. Kyle Troutman/editor@cassville-democrat.com

Thanks to the improvements made to Flatt Creek we are not seeing the flooding issues repeat themselves as in years past. Bravo.
