"We had a little bit of water. We usually don't get any, and so for us to see some water it'd have to be really bad," Altmann said.
The mayor acknowledged infrastructure challenges, saying the city is working to ensure new developments manage storm water on-site to prevent contributing to existing drainage problems.
"This problem has been building for a hundred years as we've been paving everything and there's just not enough drainage," Altmann said.
