To reduce the potential of flooding from Oyster Creek backflowing into the storm sewer systems, the District has begun a project to install flap gates on the storm sewer outfall pipes.

 Structural design is nearing completion.  Updates will be posted as the project progresses.

The project consisted of adding Articulated Concrete Blocks to the levee tops to prevent wheel rutting and other vehicular damage to the levee and allow for better all-weather inspection and maintenance access by the District’s Operator, LID Solutions, and other district consultants. These blocks allow for grass to grow in the slight gaps between blocks and the holes in the blocks. Grass will cover the blocks and they will be all but invisible over time.
