College View Stormwater Improvement – 06.04.21 Project Update:

This week kicked off the start of the underground stormwater improvement in front of York High School. This important neighborhood project will help reduce flooding in certain parts of the immediate neighborhood. The truck route, for this project, will access the site using the St. Charles Road stop light to avoid additional traffic on the neighborhood and the focus of the improvements will be on York High School property.

The first step of this improvement is to excavate the dirt from within the new underground detention site area in preparation for the installation of pre-cast concrete underground storage chambers. Once the underground chambers are installed, the contractor will install new storm sewer piping into the new detention.  The project is anticipated to take most of the summer with substantial completion in mid-August before school starts in the Fall.

The project is now substantially complete and operational.  Grass is growing in the stormwater basin in York Commons Park and the sluice gate is functional.  The project came in under budget and was completed on time.
