The Flood Control District has a program to help local cities solve small-scale flooding problems. The Small Projects Assistance Program (SPAP) allows cities and towns apply for up to $500,000 in funding to design and build flood control structures. The Board recently approved a project in District 4.
The County will partner with the City of Litchfield Park to reconstruct Vista Verde Drive, routing stormwater to a retention basin. Eleven condominiums are currently at risk for flooding due to undersized catch basins. Adjustments to the road and the addition of a small channel will allow water to be quickly directed away from homes.
