Page 6 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2025 Tuscano Ave. resident thanks City Sewer & Drain Dept. workers for Nor’easter preparations By Tara Vocino T uscano Avenue resident Rocco Falzone thanked Sewer and Drain Department staff for coming early Sunday morning to clean out the storm drain before this week’s rainy Nor’easter. Sewer and Drain Supervisor Frank D’Amelio cleaned up phragmites, tree branches and leaf bags along with Sewer and Drain Foreman Joseph Belcastro. If they hadn’t cleaned it prior to the Nor’easter, it could have fl ooded Tuscano and Asti Avenues. Falzone’s home gets hit the hardest since it is the lowest house in the city, according to retired Chief of Infrastructure Donnie Ciaramella. “Other homes don’t fl ood as much I do,” Falzone said. “I thank them for coming down today.” D’Amelio said they try to come down to Asti Avenue each time it rains. “It’s one of the most troubled areas,” D’Amelio said. “Rocco is just one voice.” If We Happen To Meet By Accident ...
