Brookfield to Receive $1.3 Million Funding to Fix Flooding Issues

There is good news for those living in the Meadowbrook Manor neighborhood in Brookfield. Flooding has been an issue for a while now, but it looks like there is some relief in sight.

According to the Brookfield Patch, FEMA is going to give the Town of Brookfield $1.3 million to help fix the flooding issues the neighborhood has been having. There are 128 homes in Meadowbrook Manor.

Use of the funds will go towards installing a new storm sewer system to help with the drainage problems that happen during big storms. Lime Kiln Brook is the reason for the flooding and has led to contaminated septic water and homes being flooded.
