Street Drainage Construction Project in action

Public Involvement Workshop on March 10 to Update Stormwater Master Plan

We're getting ready to update our Stormwater Master Plan (SWMP) and we want to hear from you at our 1st Public Involvement Workshop on Thursday March 10, at 6 PM in our Town Hall Council chambers.

The SWMP was created in 2008 with the purpose to identify opportunities to protect surface water quality and reduce flooding within the Town. The SWMP identified seventeen priority stormwater improvement projects (basins) throughout the Town, based on observed flooding, flood complaints, roadway conditions, traffic volumes, and hydraulic analysis. 13 years later, many of those projects identified have either been completed or are in the planning stages—projects that have enhanced and improved the Town’s stormwater system, reduced flooding risks, and helped the Town earn a CRS Class 4 rating, providing flood insurance policy holders in Town with a 30% discount on their premiums—Cutler Bay is one of only 4 communities in Florida to have achieved this rating.

Now, we're ready to update the SWMP in order to examine the performance of the work completed to date, examine its effectiveness, and identify new improvement projects for the future. Your input is essential to the success of this update, so save the date and join us on Thursday, March 10!
