Allandale Storm Drain Improvements

This project will reduce flooding of houses, yards and streets caused by an old, inadequate stormwater conveyance system in the Allandale neighborhood without making flooding worse for residents living along Shoal Creek. The project is partially funded by the November 2006 Bond Election.

The original plan called for a stormwater detention pond at the site of a commercial storage facility located on Burnet Road and the installation of underground pipes in the neighborhood. However, the City has decided not to pursue this option due to the high cost of purchasing the land. Instead the City is considering other, more cost-effective options. The City is working closely with the Allandale Neighborhood Association during this process and is currently evaluating the possibility of installing a storm drain underneath Bull Creek Road.
