    Water from Hazelton Ave again overflowed at 3:30am this morning into the Backyards of 36, 40 and 46 Beaufort Ave. In a matter of minutes the backyards were completely overwhelmed with water. Water entered finished basements.

    Homeowners had to use industrial grade surface pump exiting by fire size hose to remove water from back yard.

    This is the sixth occurrence of the overflow that has been reported to the town since 2011. Three of the six occurrences have happened in the last 5 months so the problem is increasing in its frequency.
