When Marietta’s new Taco Bell was constructed earlier this year, it moved a little bit down the street and 11 feet up in the air. “Water came into the old restaurant (during the September 2004 flood), and it had to be cleaned and renovated,” said Marietta Taco Bell general manager Jodi Flinn, noting that flooding isn’t likely at the new location. That’s the idea behind several businesses in town that are similarly raised out of the flood plain, according to Wayne Rinehart, certified flood plain manager with the city engineering department. “Businesses either have to floodproof their structures or elevate them out of the flood plain,” he said. “Or they can do a combination of both, like the Rite-Aid on Greene Street and CVS on Third Street.” Rinehart said the buildings are considered floodproof because they’re built so they can be sealed off during flood events. Dave Houser, an employee of Marietta Rite-Aid on Saturday, explained how the floodproofing works.
