MORE THAN $8 MILLION INVESTED IN DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS

In 2020, the City completed a $1 million drainage improvement project to upsize and reroute the underground storm drainage system on Robert E. Lee Drive between Beth Drive and Jeffrey Drive. These improvements mitigated flooding risk to hundreds of homes on Jeffrey Drive, David Drive and Pam Drive.

About $2.8 million in projects got underway in 2021 with the College Avenue Drainage Improvement Project and the Arbor Oaks Channel Repair. Work on the finalized report for the Comprehensive Stormwater Masterplan has begun, as 98 percent of the curb inlet assessments are complete and 88 percent of the drainage solutions are available.

Upcoming drainage improvement projects include $4.4 million to repair drainage infrastructure and minimize localized flooding during heavy rains.
