Residents expressed urgent concerns regarding drainage issues during a recent government meeting, highlighting the frequent flooding in their area even with minimal rainfall. One resident detailed how just half an inch of rain can lead to significant street flooding, while three inches can inundate driveways. The resident specifically referenced the impact of Tropical Storm Helene, which exacerbated the flooding situation for many in the community.

The call for action was clear, as residents requested that officials assess the drainage systems in their area to mitigate future flooding risks. In response to these concerns, it was announced that a special workshop will be held on December 5th to address these drainage issues and explore potential solutions through modeling and system evaluations.

The resident, who identified as a mechanical engineer, offered assistance to local officials, emphasizing a collaborative approach to tackling the flooding problem. The meeting underscored the community's desire for proactive measures to improve drainage and protect their homes from future weather-related challenges.
