The City’s existing Stormwater Utility Master Plan was last updated by Florida Design Consultants January 2014. Over the past 10 years the city has constructed a number of Capital Improvement Projects which were identified in the 2014 Master Plan. These projects included the construction of the Heights neighborhood retention/detention ponds, Florida Avenue Drainage Improvements in the Downtown area, Orange Lake Outfall and installation of flood gates project, Missouri Avenue drainage improvements, Riverview drainage improvements, Tanglewood Terrace drainage improvements, Tropic Shores drainage improvements, 7230 Grand Boulevard drainage improvements, and Richey Drive drainage improvements.
The 2024 Stormwater Utility System Master Plan 10-year update re-examined the City’s stormwater system by identifying and analyzing the existing drainage information collected over the past 10 years, as well as information collected during the update process. Proposed projects included in the 10-year update plan are categorized as known flooding areas, water quality treatment areas, repetitive loss areas, and finally projects that have not been completed in the City’s previous Stormwater Master Plan.
Mr. Robert Johnson P.E. with Environmental Consulting and Technology, Incorporated is in attendance to present the master plan 10-year update.
