Stormwater Mitigation

The four civic associations comprise the Torreyson Run watershed, and our residents and businesses suffered a great deal from the July 8th storm that overwhelmed the county’s storm water management systems. This letter was an attempt to work with the county board to ensure storm water management improvements in our watershed.

This document is a "story map" prepared by the County to explain the history of Arlington's effort to manage stormwater, and to describe how a combination of storm characteristics determines whether a stormwater system is sufficient to prevent community flooding.

Arlington is working toward flooding resilience through defining balance between private and public responsibility; scaling levels of flood protection and mitigation; and needs based investment.

Is Arlington Ready for the Next Flood? Last summer, a sudden squall left scores of local homes and businesses under water, causing millions in damages. Are we prepared for another one?
