Chair praises rapid response after Dwyer flooding; 30-inch drainage pipe installed
Summary
After 5–6 inches of rain caused flooding on Dwyer, the Chair thanked Ray and his team for installing a new 30-inch drainage pipe to the bay (replacing an 18-inch), and said residents were pleased with the response; staff reported no further issues at that location following the repair.
The Chair opened an item on additional drainage concerns by noting a recent flooding event on the south end of town near Dwyer that followed 5–6 inches of rain. He complimented Ray and his crew for a quick response: crews installed a new 30-inch drainage pipe to the bay to replace the prior 18-inch pipe, which the Chair said had collapsed, and residents reported the repair resolved the immediate flooding problem.
Ray confirmed the work went smoothly and said the crew had not encountered roadblocks in executing the emergency repair. The meeting then turned to a related area near South Carroll Street where private drainage across property now proposed for development will require an engineering review; Ray said he asked Cobb Finley to study options for improvements to mitigate that problem.
