Northampton's City Council is expected to take the first step Thursday night towards upgrading the city's flood control system. City Council President Bill Dwight tells WHMP news, there's no choice because the city is under federal and state mandates to improve the safety of the flood control system on the Connecticut and Mill Rivers. The council will be asked to redirect $250,000 from a previous municipal bond to pay for critical maintenance on those dikes and levees.
