The city of Avondale Estates recently hired the team of Brown and Caldwell and Lowe Engineers to lead the City’s stormwater master plan, according to a press release.

This plan will provide recommendations for future capital improvements to ensure that the City has a safe, effective, and operational stormwater system.

The city wants to hear from residents about where you see flooding or potential drainage issue. To report what you see and know about stormwater issues in the City, text STORMWATER to 404-528-2886 and follow the prompts.

Stormwater issues can also be reported online at www.AvondaleEstates.org/Stormwater.

There was a discussion with the professional engineers about the details and steps for the ongoing stormwater master plan process held on Sept. 2. Those who missed the virtual event may download the presentation at https://www.avondaleestates.org/DocumentCenter/View/3211/09022020-Public-Meetingv1.

The deadline for input has been moved to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 9.
