Structural Projects
Some mitigation projects have been conducted on these water bodies, but there is significant effort that is still needed to reduce potential erosion. Current projects include: Old Mill Stream and Richland Creek - construction plans @ 90%. Ailey Young Dam - completed June 2019; Smith Creek - quote has been requested for work to be done. Stream erosion throughout town continues to be an ongoing process as needed. Stormwater utility funding has been approved which will help assist funding projects moving forward. New facilities are being encouraged to include generators. Existing facilities without generators are financially constrained and have little ability to add generators. The Town will continue to promote the installation of generators in new facilities as development progresses. Past communications have included information advising the public of turning off propane tanks during a storm, but better outreach is needed to ensure this occurs. A policy should be put in place to ensure it is regularly communicated.
