MAGNOLIA SPRINGS, Ala. — Evidence of damage from the April flood to Magnolia Springs will soon be no more.

During last week’s Magnolia Springs Town Council meeting, Councilman Bob Holk announced that R&S Paving was in town, working on repairs to public entities. By Thursday, he reported that work was nearly complete.

In May, town leaders worked to acquire disaster-relief funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency in order to repair damage to public infrastructure.

At that time, Holk announced that he had a meeting scheduled with FEMA representatives about the application. Holk read a list of damages to public property caused by the flooding, which included erosion on edges of roads, downed trees at Magnolia Landing and a washed out culvert at Bay Street.

Those efforts also resulted in FEMA approving the town to conduct a second debris removal.

The April 29 weather event poured 26 inches of rain on an already saturated South Baldwin County. Area law enforcement and rescue officials reported responded to numerous calls for help.
