Was the disastrous flooding that took this past month a once in 100 year
event or the result of the global warming trend?
If the latter, can we expect more events like this in the near future?
In this case if we simply replace the existing infrastructure will we be inviting more
of the same problems in the future?
How are we proposing to finance these repairs given that we were tapped
out after last year's lake outlet project?
Should we be looking at a solution that would withstand a flood level
like we just experienced?
Will the government bodies that have a say in these matters be satisfied
with simply replacing what we had or would they be recommending a beefed up
solution?
Must we get any solution approved in writing by the government bodies
that have jurisdiction over our lake?
If we opt for a more sophisticated and stronger lake outlet drainage
infrastructure will it result in elevated lake levels that will damage
cottagers property?
If we are in the traditional half load restrictions for the month of May
how severely will this affect the cost of repairs done in May?
Can we get any contractor to give us a fixed quote given the road
restrictions or will we end up with an open ended cost plus job?
Can the contractor that installed the culverts last summer be, in any way,
held responsible?
