More rain is forecast in the Austin area over the coming weekend, with chances increasing early next week. With this additional rainfall expected, please be sure to check and prepare active construction sites according to approved plans for inclement weather.
Specifically, please ensure appropriate erosion and sediment control measures are installed properly and working as intended. If your site has inlet protection in the right of way, remove those controls before rainfall begins to allow for proper drainage and help reduce risks associated with possible flooding.
While we do not know how much rain will occur or whether it will be significant enough to cause concerns, these proactive measures can help ensure the City’s drainage system continues to perform correctly. It is important that we work together to help protect our community and the City's infrastructure.
If you have questions, please visit our Environmental Inspections web page or email the Environmental Inspections team. Check the National Weather Service website for the latest forecast.
Thank you in advance for doing your part to help reduce flood-related risks. We appreciate your cooperation and commitment to our community’s safety and well-being.
