A sensor failed during the heavy rain a week ago and a section of I-10 flooded about 4 ft. deep. Motorists were left on their own to find a way around the closed section.
ADOT has flood control equipment pumping stations to pump out standing water on the freeways, but the sensor failed to allert the pumps.
Some of those pumping stations have huge Waukesha engines that run on natural gas. Some of the runoff water collects in tunnels or natural quarry pits for pumping later. I bought an 8" pump with a JD Diesel engine; when they pumped those storage reservoirs, that 8" pump ran around the clock for 8 days straight to empty one of the reservoirs.
Too many people think that we don't need flood control in the desert - and we don't until we get heavy rains.
Forecast is for another heavy rain for wednesday of this week, which will cause more flooding as the ground is now saturated from the rain we had last week.
