Residents of Imperial Harbor urge action after recurring roadway and yard flooding
Summary
Two residents of Imperial Harbor described repeated summer flooding that leaves standing water in yards and streets; they asked the city to clear drainage obstructions and address pond conveyance tied to adjacent golf course vegetation.
Several residents of the Imperial Harbor 55+ community addressed the council during public comment to request faster action on persistent stormwater flooding that affects Squire Lane and adjacent yards.
A resident identified as Nardine said the community’s drainage pipes are clear but the golf‑course pond and aquatic vegetation have reduced conveyance so stormwater has nowhere to go; she said surface water now stands for days and in some instances reaches lanai areas. Madeline Foster, another resident on Squire Lane, described recent summertime storms that left streets impassable and storm shallows that she said are growing worse each year. Both speakers said they have contacted public works and city staff but want an expedited remedy; the transcript records that Public Works staff (Jason) has inspected the site and been responsive but that vegetation and pond capacity remain concerns.
Council members acknowledged the reports and staff said they will continue site review and follow up with the residents. No formal council action was recorded during public comment.
