CSD: City Planning and Foresight Prevented School Flooding

Decatur Metro | September 22, 2009

I inquired with Asst. Superintendent Thomas van Soelen about the extent of flooding at CSD facilities.  Bottomline is that while there were a couple issues, overall CSD is grateful to the city for its stormwater management planning.

Here’s Thomas’ response…

No official flooding.

Summary of leaks that have been rectified:

* Winnona Park: 2 rooms and cafeteria, debris washed down onto the drainage covers (even though we wash them every day)

* Oakhurst: slight amount of water at cafeteria

Kudos to the city of Decatur for their fine work in stormwater management. Their planning and foresight prevented flooding in our facilities.
