About this story
The subject is a local flood response in Aiseau-Presles, a Walloon municipality in Hainaut near Charleroi. La DH is the source for the reported flood damage, two demandes de relogement and the deployment of ouvriers communaux to nettoyer rues avaloirs. The municipality’s official website identifies road maintenance, street sweeping and drain cleaning as duties of its works service, and lists a housing service for residents seeking housing information.
How to read this story
The history
Local flooding in Wallonia often turns into a service-delivery test for municipalities: clearing mud, reopening streets, checking drains and guiding residents through housing or insurance steps. This case fits that pattern, with the main confirmed public action focused on cleaning streets and avaloirs.
Regional impact
The impact is local to Aiseau-Presles and its four sections: Aiseau, Pont-de-Loup, Presles and Roselies. The municipal website lists 10,956 residents in 2024, so even a small number of flooded homes concerns a compact community where road access, drainage and municipal clean-up capacity matter quickly.
Local impact
The local impact is concrete and service-based: rehousing requests, street cleaning, drain clearing and resident contact with municipal housing or works services.
What this means for you
Residents affected by floodwater should photograph damage, keep clean-up receipts, avoid lifting drain covers themselves, contact the municipality for housing or works questions, and follow emergency-service instructions if electricity, gas or contaminated water is involved.
