33' -
A large portion of Bound Brook is protected by the flood reduction project. Pump station operations become critical, at this stage, for the continued protection of the borough.
30' -
Main Street is protected by flap valves/sluice gates. This level triggers the gate closures to protect Main Street.
28' -
Backyard and low areas are protected by levees and the flood wall. Without the levees or if there is a breach in the levees, minor flooding will occur.
