A little common sense please!
As Lakewood gets built up, LESS water is absorbed by the ground as much more runs off into the sewer system. When the land is covered with buildings and cement, the water can’t be absorbed.
The reason for the higher water table is rain! The American eastern seaboard has had an inordinate amount of rain for the past year. NYC water reservoir system is loaded. Normally at the end of the summer it’s considerably below full. This year at the end of the summer it was almost full. Farmers had trouble harvesting crops as they needed a few days of dry weather to harvest.Pay attention to what’s going on around you. Rain, rain, and more rain, al of which contributes to a high watertable.
