The District acquired approximately 43-acres adjacent to Cannon Ditch in an area that was identified in the District’s Master Drainage Plan as an area for regional detention. The District will be able to create approximately 280 acre-feet of detention capacity in an area that has had flood problems in the past.
This is a long term project that is a continuation of the previous reclamation project on Mary’s Creek at Independence Park.
The Roy Rd. Detention Pond project is located at the dead end of Roy Rd. adjacent to the south side of Clear Creek in Brookside Village. It will encompass the District acquired 14.335 acre Taha tract (purchased in FY 2020) and the previously acquired 4.13 acre Loonam tract allowing for a potential total of 18.465 surface acres of detention area and will provide additional flood mitigation for that area in Brookside Village.
