Storm Water Action Team

A Storm Water Action Team (SWAT) has been created to help proactively improve drainage and mitigate flooding citywide.

Approximately 100 projects spread throughout the city have been initially identified for the SWAT program. Projects have been selected based on 311 calls and other data regarding frequency of flooding.

City Council has approved an initial funding of $10 million so that work can begin on 22 projects, two in each council district.

Drainage systems improvements may include:

Storm Sewers and Outfalls

Replace collapsed outfalls, replace & upsize inlets, re-establish curbs & gutters

Roadside Ditches and Culverts

Clear & regrade ditches, replace culverts

Off-Road Ditches and Detention Ponds

Clear, regrade & de-silt ditches, minor erosion repairs

For questions or concerns, call 311
