Fairfield Avenue North Becomes More Waterfront than Originally Bargained For
Fairfield Avenue North, off of Bradley Street, remained flooded early this morning as waters in the Compo neighborhood slowly receded into nearby storm drains with the help of water pumps. The lower beach neighborhood streets experience flooding often as the hills sloping down from the shoreline trap water that settles in the lower level areas. The area falls within the Town’s AE flood zone and is described as having a 1% annual chance of flood, with the base flood elevation determined.
