The public is invited to attend the groundbreaking for the Donna Channel Drainage Improvements Project on Thursday, Jan. 22 at 2 p.m. near the intersection of Davis St. and Brookwood Cir.

This project was identified as the top priority in the 2020 Drainage Master Plan. The Donna Channel area—behind homes near Donna Drive—has undersized drainage infrastructure that contributes to localized flooding. The project includes constructing a regional detention pond north of Mallard Lane, installing new storm drains and inlets along Mallard Lane, and making structural improvements to the Donna Channel. These improvements include repairing channel slopes, banks, and retaining walls; replacing the cross-culvert at Drake Lane; and replacing the pedestrian bridge in Bull Branch Park. Together, these upgrades will reduce flood risk along Bull Branch and around the regional detention pond, benefiting approximately 50 nearby homes.
