Two stormwater pipes at a property on Spring Drive

Stormwater

Spring Drive Drainage Improvements

Drainage Assistance Program

Several properties on Spring Drive experienced flooding during heavy rainstorms. The stormwater pipes that run underneath the driveways were too small. They could not handle the amount of stormwater runoff flowing through the neighborhood. 

More stormwater can flow through the system now that the project is complete. This reduces flooding to the properties on this road.
