Albany city officials held a meeting Tuesday night, hearing residents' concerns after recent flash flooding.
An August 5th storm dumped buckets of rain over a short timeframe, putting an unprecedented strain on infrastructure and flooding many low-lying and poor drainage areas of the city.
Residents in the 9th ward turned out at New Scotland Elementary School (formerly School 19) to air their flood grievances before Mayor Kathy Sheehan and water department representatives, who said they're working on the issues.
Residents were asked to submit water-related problems in writing.
"It's an important reality that we're getting the hundred year storm with greater and greater frequency" - Sheehan told the crowd gathering public opinion will help make funding decisions to harden the infrastructure, in the face of the climactic "new reality."
