Despite heavy downfalls plaguing city sewer systems in the past month, East Lansing officials said there is nothing unusual about it. More than 3.6 inches of rain bombarded the city during the aforementioned week, and caused problems for both students and residents alike. East Lansing Director of Public Works Scott House said the sewer system in East Lansing does not seem to hold as much water as it needed to during a period of heavy rainfall or flash floods. "In that type of event you’re exceeding the design capacity for the system, meaning that the pipe can only handle so much," House said. "The rest will sheet flow so that will typically seek low ground where it will pool or find an opening where it will convey through." MSU Infrastructure Administrator Ron Lacasse mentioned detention basins play a major role in lessening the overall effect that a flood has on an area.
