Annual Storm Drainage Improvements aimed at enhancing the town's drainage infrastructure and mitigating potential flooding risks. These improvements involve various initiatives such as clearing debris from drainage channels, repairing or replacing deteriorated drainage pipes, upgrading stormwater management systems, and implementing erosion control measures. They address urgent repair needs in critical areas such as the Industrial Park, Dudley Street, and Middle School lift stations, which are located in flood-prone areas. Additionally, enhancements are planned for other areas including North Walker, East Hayes, West Satchwell, and West Ashe. These improvement projects do not require approval or permits from the Corps of Engineers, streamlining the process for implementation. By investing in regular storm drainage improvements, Burgaw aims to minimize the impact of heavy rainfall events, reduce the risk of localized flooding, and ensure the continued functionality and resilience of its drainage infrastructure. This proactive approach helps safeguard the community's property, infrastructure, and overall well-being from the adverse effects of stormwater runoff.
