Stormwater Infrastructure Identify stormwater management projects November 2016 Community Update GO North Olmsted 2015 MASTER PLAN In 2016 Mayor Kevin Kennedy's administration released an overview of projects and initiatives the city has undertaken to improve North Olmsted's drainage system. The overview documents a wide range of both storm water and sanitary system projects that, in combination, have reduced instances of flooding in the city after major storm events. Completed projects include upgrades at the Waste Water Treatment Plant; pump station improvements and underground storage at Clague and Dover; new sanitary relief sewers along Walter Road and Chapel Hill Drive; bioretention at City Hall, North Olmsted Park and Springvale; culvert replacements at Burns Road and Windsor Road; and new storm sewer interconnects for relief and equalization in various Locations in the city. ? Improved storm water management policies, enforcement ' and public education are key strategies in working with private property owners. Even small individual property improvements benefit the overall system. A policy adopted in 2011 resulted in North Olmsted residents pulling an ?estimated 100 Permits to install backwater valves at their homes. Ongoing ditch inspection, routine maintenance and monitoring is also part of the effort. All of the major ditches and conveYance channels in the citY were insPected at least twice in 2016, with maintenance performed as needed. City crews are working well ahead of the tasks outlined in their five-year improvement plan. Other capital improvements have been programmed for the near future. Contracts have been awarded for both Bradley pump station improvements and drainage improvements at Pine School. The Pine project will add one million gallons of storm water storage which will benefit the surrounding residential neighborhoods. City officials continue to explore options for improving storm water management and sewer infrastructure across the community. "Identifying problems and designing solutions to improve our drainage system will continue to be a priority of my administration well into the future," said Mayor Kennedy.
