Metrowest Daily News 4/30/10: Flood-related damages in the hundreds of thousands. As local residents continue to clean up damage from last month's record rainfall, many communities have begun tallying flood-related overtime costs and damage to public buildings in hopes of receiving federal disaster relief. Wayland, one of the hardest hit towns in MetroWest, suffered about $563,000 in damage to public facilities during the March 12-15 deluge, said Wayland Police Chief Bob Irving. The town's Public Safety Building had extensive damage to the electrical system and the heating, ventilation and cooling systems, while the Wayland Free Public Library has been closed since the storm and is not expected to reopen until July because of serious damage to the walls, insulation and flooring on the building's first floor. Irving estimated a second storm on March 29 caused an additional $100,000 in damage to public buildings and overtime costs for public employees.
