The reason is very simple; Tewkesbury council decided to let builders build houses on the flood plain area of the river about 15 years ago. They and Severn Trent water stopped dredging the river system at about the SAME time. The river should be 40 feet deeper here at Tewkesbury Wharf but is only 11 feet deep!
So the houses flood EVERY YEAR. Because the council are NOT very practical in coming up with a plan to re dredge the river for about 1 mile each side of the town, the town itself will continue to flood! Its ain't rocket Science is TBC??

Where in tewksbury is a flood plain?
Tewksbury, Mass. has no major rivers. The Shawsheen and the Merrimack are in other towns. Flood plain is the area that would be underwater if a river flooded. Although the area around Silver Lake and Lubbers Brook in Wilmington, near the southern part of Rt 38 in Tewksbury is pretty flat, it still would not flood, because of the small likelihood that Silver Lake would ever overflow. Areas where rain overflows the streets during storms might be considered to be flood plains in a small sense.
