Groundbreaking for the South Englewood Flood Reduction Project took place last week . This groundbreaking marks the location for the stormwater detention ponds and is a significant step forward in our ongoing efforts to mitigate flooding in the South Englewood drainage basin .
Stormwater Detention Ponds play a pivotal role in reducing flooding by storing runoff during rain events . Once the rain subsides , these ponds are designed to drain within 24 to 48 hours , effectively managing excess water and minimizing flood risks . Additionally , the larger pond will serve as a recreational or passive open space once drained , further enhancing the community ' s amenities .
