Stormwater superintendent: 100 miles of pipe, Georgetown drainage project moving toward completion
Summary
Stormwater Superintendent Sean Lemons said the division manages roughly 100 miles of underground pipe and is working on a multi-phase Georgetown drainage project that replaces inlets and upsizes pipes up to 13th Street to reduce nuisance flooding.
Sean Lemons, stormwater superintendent, said the stormwater team is about 17 people and manages roughly 100 miles of pipe and about 10 miles of open ditch. "We manage roughly a 100 miles of, pipe in the ground, roughly 10 miles of open ditch," he said, adding that operators are cross-trained to run heavy equipment.
Lemons described the Georgetown drainage work as a phased project that replaces inlets and installs larger pipes between 8th Street and 4th Street, with a planned next phase toward 13th Street; staff said the system is being routed more directly to Lake Monroe instead of the older pump-branch network to improve outflow, though any extension past 13th Street would require additional funding.
