title
Drainage Study for Eels Grove Road
body
DEPARTMENT:
Environmental Services
SUMMARY:
Eels Grove Road became a City of Edgewater public right-of-way with the adoption of the 2015 Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement (ISBA) with Volusia County, including responsibility for maintenance of the unpaved road and associated drainage infrastructure. In recent years, residents on Eels Grove Road have made several drainage-related complaints the Environmental Services Department. City staff have made multiple adjustments to the road grading and stormwater conveyance along Eels Grove Road over the years to respond to these complaints.
In an attempt to finally resolve the complaints, the City’s continuing engineering consultant Halff Associates, Inc. has provided the attached proposal in the amount $55,437.40 to conduct a topographic survey and determine whether or not the City is depositing stormwater runoff onto privately-owned land, and what improvements can be made to assist in stormwater conveyance for the residents along Eels Grove Road. Sufficient funds are available within the Stormwater utility to be reallocated to cover this expense.
