A field visit occurred on Tuesday, October 6th, near the storm basin located behind the Mr. Bricolage in Spy, within the territory of the City of Gembloux. This meeting aimed to analyze the structure's operation and determine necessary improvements to enhance its capacity during heavy rainfall.
Following this assessment, the City of Gembloux plans to carry out work in the coming year. The project will involve removing some earth to raise the banks and increase the basin's retention volume.
Concurrently, coordination is established with the Public Works department of the Municipality of Jemeppe-sur-Sambre. Joint inspections of various manholes within the communal territory will be conducted to identify potential improvements to the water drainage system.
These joint initiatives aim to strengthen rainwater management and flood risk prevention at both local and inter-municipal levels.
