In 1971, the amount of rain to fall on a single day was striking, 4.28 inches on August 27. This record level of rainfall coincided with the collapse of the Mill Creek sewer at the corner of Sansom and 43rd Street. However , a high level of precipitation does not always correspond to sewer collapse. Sometimes a collapse is preceded by steady rainfall over a period of time and sometimes it is unprecedented.
