Glen Rock NJ, Glen Rock Police report  last Monday  at 7:13 p.m. patrols, along with Glen Rock Firefighters, responded to a Southboro Lane home to investigate a flooding condition which was reported to be affecting the utilities in the home. It was determined that leaves had blocked a storm drain and caused the street to flood onto the resident’s property and into the garage and basement of the home. The fire department was able to make conditions safe and the DPW was called out to remove the leaves from the affected area before more damage occurred.
