Baldwinsville's mapped flood areas on the county record
The county hazard plan states the Seneca River flows through the center of the Village of Baldwinsville and divides it. The village straddles the Towns of Lysander and Van Buren, sits at Erie Canal Lock 24, and three developments lie in mapped flood areas: Fobes Island in the 100-year floodplain, and Bronze Foundry Lofts and Villas at Seneca in the 500-year floodplain.

High water reached your Baldwinsville house?
Photograph where it came in. River water is handled and claimed differently from a pipe.
The Seneca River splits Baldwinsville, and the water question
The county hazard plan describes the Seneca River flowing through the center of the village and dividing it, at Erie Canal Lock 24, with Fobes Island in the 100 year floodplain and Bronze Foundry Lofts and Villas at Seneca in the 500 year floodplain. So high water is a real source here, and when it reaches a house it is handled as contaminated water and read under a flood policy. A burst supply line or a failed water heater in the same street is clean water under a homeowners policy, and that difference changes both what can be dried in place and who pays. Establish which one it was, and photograph where the water came in, before any cleanup is scoped. Nearly half the village rents, 48.4 percent, so for many homes the first call after water gets in is to the owner, and the tenant's belongings need a record of their own.
