CSD: City Planning and Foresight Prevented School Flooding
Decatur Metro | September 22, 2009I 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.
