Additional rain, along with high winds and severe storms, are expected later today, especially in the eastern portions of Austin. We recommend visiting the National Weather Service webpage for more details about today's forecast. Please be sure to check and prepare active construction sites according to approved plans for severe weather.
Specifically, please ensure appropriate erosion and sediment control measures are installed properly and working as intended as soon as possible. If your site has inlet protection in the right of way, please also remove those controls to allow for proper drainage and help reduce risks associated with flooding.
While we do not know how much rain will occur or whether it will be significant enough to cause flooding, 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.
Thank you in advance for doing your part to help reduce these flood-related risks. We appreciate your cooperation and commitment to our community’s safety and well-being.
