MOUNT PLEASANT — The recent heavy rain caused some issues at the Foxconn Technology Group site as stormwater was reportedly flowing from the site into the Pike River.

According to Claude Lois, project manager for the village, the issue has been taken care of and improvements have been made.

“They were actually out there, on Labor Day, as well as all day (Tuesday), addressing the issue and fixing the issue,” Lois said. “There is no more stormwater runoff into the Pike River and it probably never even got to the Pike River.”

Lois said officials from Foxconn and M+W| Gilbane Building Co., the company in charge of construction, fixed a breach in one of the barriers used to prevent any runoff from heavy rains.

“They made all kinds of changes all day (Tuesday), they made changes to address that so it doesn’t happen again,” Lois said. “So it’s all under control and it’s handled.”

Lois said the village was informed by Gilbane and Foxconn about the issues, and have received reports on the work that was done.
