LEOMINSTER, Mass. - Leominster Mayor Dean Mazzarella said the city is facing an estimated $25 million to $40 million in damages following Monday night's flooding.

Mazzarella described the city as "stable" Wednesday afternoon, but said several areas are dealing with significant damage. Crews could be seen loading sandbags during Wednesday's rain in an effort to curb even more flooding.

Mazzarella said the city is doing its best to open as many roads as possible but he believes it could be weeks before the city is properly fixed, with the wet weather making the city's attempt to make repairs even more difficult.

"Everything is saturated, so we're obviously concerned about that,” Mazzarella said. “We're concerned about what happens with the additional rain. But we're out there pumping basements, helping people clean up, getting school opened.

“School will be open tomorrow, Leominster on a delay. We know it may take a while to get kids to school, but we're prepared for that. But everybody's helping us and teaming up, state officials, everyone has been 100% cooperative."

Mazzarella said their concern now is Hurricane Lee possibly heading close to New England this weekend.

A relief fund has been set up in an effort to help residents affected by the flood.
