Evansville City Engineer notes remedial action to address water problems at 6th & Vision

(Ed. Note: The following is a portion of the recent Public Works meeting minutes)

The city engineer discussed the following action plan with the contractor:

Regrade ditch on West Side of 6th street.
Cut & replace 65’ of pavement to increase road crown.
These items should be completed within a couple of weeks.

The city engineer plans to check the entrance to drainage swales to retention ponds.

The city engineer expressed frustration that storm water drainage systems are not being constructed according to design. All construction errors to the storm water drainage will be repaired at the developer expense.

  1. Although the City has done a lot of work to mitigate the drainage north of Vision and west of 6th and deserves much credit for that, it has to be noted that the problems south of Vision were brought to the City's attention while still under construction.

    It would have been far easier to have the developer address these concerns then.
