Plainville officials are considering buying out property owners on Robert Street extension that flooded last week and raised concerned about about E-coli exposure.
Frank Iris can't return to his Robert Street extension home for safety reasons.
"There's still water in my basement, still pouring in there. The floors are buckled, everything is just bad. Air quality in the house is real bad you can't breathe in that house," he said.
Floodwaters didn't force neighbor John Corriveau out.
He said though his basement floods every year, in part because of increased development and runoff, and he's looking for government relief.
"Pay me, and let me out of here. I've been here since I was 5 years old. This was my parents house I have so many memories here, and I'm willing to let it all go," he said

“Plainville (CT) considers buying homeowners plagued by flooding”
How much do homeowners cost?
Do they also bail out folks who had a really bad day at Foxwoods?

Great, another generation of slaves whose great grandchildren will demand reparations.
Slaves who own homes. Only in Obambi’s America.
More Opium needed here...O.P.M....Other People’s Money.
Dumb sons of bitches. Geez. I pay you? I don’t think so.
It is already the towns problem. Why did the City allow the flood prone property to be subdivided and built upon. Every place I know of has to have a bunch of permits in order to build a house. And, the permits usually cost a lot of money.
BTW, that is why the Federal Government stepped in and is enforcing floodplain/floodway rules now. And there are plenty of people here that say people should be able to build wherever they want to. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
Anyone want to buy my neighbor. He’s muscular, healthy, and has good teeth.
So how did your parents survive living there for so long, and if it was their house, isn't it all paid for?
