Port Aransans who remember the heavy rains of last year and the subsequent standing water on Alister Street may have marveled Sunday, April 27, at relatively dry streets after rains drenched the area. A $2 million drainage project that replaced aging storm sewers along Alister Street from Beach Street to Brundrett and along Oleander Street did “a pretty good job” […]
