Aquarion, which maintains the tower, is on scene to fix the issue.
This is the third significant flooding issue in the area in recent days. On Saturday storm surge caused record high tides that flooded the streets. And just days before that on Wednesday entire neighborhoods were underwater between the high tides and flooding rains that hit the seacoast community.
