system with a larger, more effective system. During Phase 2 of
this project a new detention pond will be constructed southwest
of town to further increase the storage volume.

bluff face above Similk Bay. This project includes installing
a series of catchbasins to intercept the runoff and a pipe network
to transport the stormwater safely to the beach.
