In a recent government meeting, officials discussed ongoing efforts to manage drainage and flooding issues in Orange City. With over 3,000 drainage structures in the area, city representatives acknowledged the challenges of inspecting all sites regularly, particularly in light of recent heavy rainfall.

City officials confirmed that while they cannot visit every drainage structure annually, they prioritize locations known for flooding problems. They have received reports of issues in certain areas but are struggling to trace historical data due to the city's evolving landscape and new developments.

Efforts to address these challenges include collaboration with local groups, such as Sherwood Forest and John Knox Village, to find effective solutions. The city has initiated pumping operations in critical areas like Industrial Drive and Mill Lake to manage water levels during the ongoing rain events.

To ensure accountability and track improvements, officials have documented conditions before the rainfall, allowing for comparisons post-event. The city remains committed to monitoring problem areas and providing assistance where possible as they navigate the increasing rainfall challenges.
