Tolono residents getting impatient over drainage woes

TOLONO – Some residents in the southwest corner of Tolono hope their days of having standing water in their backyards for weeks at a time will soon be a thing of the past.

The village board Tuesday directed Foth Infrastructure & Environment engineer Tom Overmyer to investigate the possibility of installing larger drainage tile there. Austin Street resident Dave Hansen has been digging up and repairing collapsing clay tile for years in an attempt to alleviate some of the problems.
