Public Works presents Benton Loop drainage study identifying 19 deficiencies

Public Works presented the Benton Loop drainage study and said the 31-acre, low-density residential area drains primarily to Hialobos Creek through five basins. The consultant identified 19 deficiencies that contribute to standing water and flood risk, including buried or crushed culverts, clogged catch basins and ditch segments filled with sediment. “It's about 31 acres,” the Public Works Director said during the presentation. “They identified 19 deficiencies and…along with the recommended solutions to those deficiencies.”
