Municipal Utility Drainage System

The goal of the Municipal Utility Drainage System is to minimize or reduce the potential flooding of roads and neighborhoods during periods of high water by maintaining the City’s drainage system.  

The Drainage Division is responsible for the following: 

§  Installation  and replacement of culverts 

§  Roadside ditches 

§  Litter control   

Comprehensive Drainage Study

The City has contracted with HDR Claunch & Miller to develop a Comprehensive Drainage Study that will identify flooding hot spots in the City. The study will provide different alternatives for solving the issues and prioritize the projects. Funding will be set apart each year to complete the projects recommended by the study.
