Description District Amount Description of Project
Robertson Road 2 $34,000
Drainage project to reduce flooding in the area. The County is working on a drainage solution in the Robertson Road area with plans to utilize the 8’ wide drainage easement dedicated by Mr. Harrison in 2015 and the 10’ drainage right-of-way dedicated by Mr. Westmoreland in 1995. Currently, the Road Department is experiencing difficulty with existing ditch maintenance due to trees, tree roots, and the ditch width constraints. A solution would include removal of trees and roots to establish a clear ditch path, and construction of a flume to improve positive flow from the immediate area and adjacent roadway. Construction scheduled for October 2016.
Merlin Road Drainage Improvements 1 $100,000 The contract for this project is being awarded on August 4. Project funding is $100,000 short. The Merlin Road Drainage Improvements project is designed to alleviate the chronic flooding issues along Merlin Road. A new outlet and larger storm pipes are planned to provide stormwater runoff relief and provide a positive outfall route to the bay for the new system. Construction is expected to start in early September and continue for 120 calendar days
