The report states that Ida revealed a pressing need to improve the city’s aging water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure. The vulnerabilities were exposed during the storm, as pump stations and other facilities failed. Other Philadelphia Water Department facilities, such as the Queen Lane Water Treatment Plant, 42nd Street Pumping Station, and Lardner’s Point freshwater Pumping Station, were also affected.
Residential buildings were also significantly impacted, particularly rowhouses or attached one-unit buildings.
